This reverts commite6a3531dd5. The problem that the commite6a3531dd5fixes was reported as a security bug, but Google engineers working on Android and ChromeOS didn't want to change the default behavior, they want to get -EIO rather than restarting the system, so I am reverting that commit. Note also that calling machine_restart from the I/O handling code is potentially unsafe (the reboot notifiers may wait for the bio that triggered the restart), but Android uses the reboot notifiers to store the reboot reason into the PMU microcontroller, so machine_restart must be used.

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 reStructuredText 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.
