All the MTD block write requests are failing with
following error messages

mkfs.ext4 /dev/mtdblock0

print_req_error: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on dev mtdblock0, logical block 0,
lost async page write

The control is going to default case after block write request
because of missing return.

Fixes: commit 2a842acab109 ("block: introduce new block status code type")

Shall this patch be included for next RC since the MTD block
write is broken in 4.13 and without this, all the writes to
MTD block device will return failure.
