[ Upstream commit 6ba01df72b4b63a26b4977790f58d8f775d2992c ] 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.

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.
