[PATCH v2] nvmet: reject invalid write-protect feature values

The Set Features handler for namespace write protection currently
accepts unsupported values. The default case in the write-protect
switch leaves the status unchanged, causing the command to return
success even though no valid setting was applied.

Return NVME_SC_INVALID_FIELD | NVME_STATUS_DNR for unsupported
values. This also prevents issuing a namespace-change notification
for an invalid request.
