[PATCH] nvme: make NVME_SC_UNWRITTEN_BLOCK a thin-provisioned error

According to the spec NVME_SC_UNWRITTEN_BLOCK signals
'an attempt to read from an LBA range containing a deallocated
or unwritten logical block'.
So this is not so much about the medium being faulty, but
rather should be classified as a thin-provisioning error
and should be mapped onto ENOSPC.
