This patch removes XDWRITEREAD support because it never fully worked when
it was added in the initial LIO merge and it's been fully broken since 2013
from commit a289008749 ("target: Add compare_and_write_post() completion
callback fall through").
The two issues above are:
1. XDWRITEREAD support was just never completed when LIO was merged. We
never did the DISABLE WRITE check and so we never write data out.
2. Since the commit above, we never complete the command. After we do the
XOR, we return from xdreadwrite_callback and that's it. We never send a
response for the command, so the command will always time out and fail.
Since this has been fully broken for almost nine years this patch just
removes emulated support.

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.
