3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 113f6eb6d50cfa5e2a1cdcf1678b12661fa272ab upstream.

Kris Lindgren reports that without the NO_WP_DETECT flag, his Seagate
external disk drive fails all write accesses. This regresssion dates
back approximately to the start of the 4.x kernel releases.
