Yes, and for that to work we can't start returning -EOPNOTSUPP as in
this patch, as BLK_QC_T_NONE an be cleared for all kinds of reasons.

So if we want some kind of error handling that people don't even
bother to poll for devices where it is not supported we need that
check much earlier (probably in io_uring).
