Mike Snitzer 6ba01df72b dm table: do not allow request-based DM to stack on partitions
Partitioned request-based devices cannot be used as underlying devices
for request-based DM because no partition offsets are added to each
incoming request.  As such, until now, stacking on partitioned devices
would _always_ result in data corruption (e.g. wiping the partition
table, writing to other partitions, etc).  Fix this by disallowing
request-based stacking on partitions.

While at it, since all .request_fn support has been removed from block
core, remove legacy dm-table code that differentiated between blk-mq and
.request_fn request-based.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
