Paolo Bonzini 0478fe6868 block: silently forbid sending any ioctl to a partition
After the first few months, the message has not led to many bug reports.
It's been almost five years now, and in practice the main source of
it seems to be MTIOCGET that someone is using to detect tape devices.
While we could whitelist it just like CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, this patch
just removes the message altogether.

The patch also removes the "safe but not very useful" ioctl whitelist,
as suggested by Christoph.  I doubt anything is using most of those
ioctls _in general_, let alone on a partition.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
