libata: reject passthrough WRITE SAME requests

commit c6ade20f upstream.

The WRITE SAME to TRIM translation rewrites the DATA OUT buffer.  While
the SCSI code accomodates for this by passing a read-writable buffer
userspace applications don't cater for this behavior.  In fact it can
be used to rewrite e.g. a readonly file through mmap and should be
considered as a security fix.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Open-code blk_rq_is_passthrough()
 - We don't distinguish which field is invaid so goto invalid_fld
 - Adjust context]
