[patch 9/12] s390: don't pad cdl blocks for write requests.

From: Horst Hummel <horst.hummel@de.ibm.com>

The first blocks on a cdl formatted dasd device are smaller than the
blocksize of the device. Read requests are padded with a 'e5' pattern.
Write requests should not pad the (user) buffer with 'e5' because a
write request is not allowed to modify the buffer.
