Subject: libata: remove WARN() for DMA or PIO command without data

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit 9173e5e80729c8434b8d27531527c5245f4a5594 upstream.

syzkaller hit a WARN() in ata_qc_issue() when writing to /dev/sg0.  This
happened because it issued a READ_6 command with no data buffer.

Just remove the WARN(), as it doesn't appear indicate a kernel bug.  The
expected behavior is to fail the command, which the code does.

Here's a reproducer that works in QEMU when /dev/sg0 refers to a disk of
the default type ("82371SB PIIX3 IDE"):

    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    int main()
    {
            char buf[42] = { [36] = 0x8 /* READ_6 */ };

            write(open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR), buf, sizeof(buf));
    }
