The legacy block layer handles requests as follows:
- If the prep function returns BLKPREP_OK, let blk_peek_request()
  return the pointer to that request.
- If the prep function returns BLKPREP_DEFER, keep the RQF_STARTED
  flag and retry calling the prep function later.
- If the prep function returns BLKPREP_KILL or BLKPREP_INVALID, end
  the request.

In none of these cases it is correct to clear the SCMD_INITIALIZED
flag from inside scsi_prep_fn(). Since scsi_prep_fn() already
guarantees that scsi_init_command() will be called once even if
scsi_prep_fn() is called multiple times, remove the code that clears
SCMD_INITIALIZED from scsi_prep_fn().

The scsi-mq code handles requests as follows:
- If scsi_mq_prep_fn() returns BLKPREP_OK, set the RQF_DONTPREP flag
  and submit the request to the SCSI LLD.
- If scsi_mq_prep_fn() returns BLKPREP_DEFER, call
  blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() and return BLK_STS_RESOURCE.
- If the prep function returns BLKPREP_KILL or BLKPREP_INVALID, call
  scsi_mq_uninit_cmd() and let the blk-mq core end the request.

In none of these cases scsi_mq_prep_fn() should clear the
SCMD_INITIALIZED flag. Hence remove the code from scsi_mq_prep_fn()
function that clears that flag.

This patch avoids that the following warning is triggered when using
the legacy block layer:

Martin, if others agree with this patch, can it be queued for kernel v4.14?

Thanks,

Bart.

Yep, I'll take a look later.
