>Description:

Trying the `chio return` command on a changer without volume tags results
in a cry from the kernel:

(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): READ ELEMENT STATUS. CDB: b8 30 0 1 0 1 0 0 4 0 0 0 
(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0
(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): Invalid field in CDB: Command byte 1 bit 4 is invalid
(ch0:ahc0:0:4:1): Unretryable error

byte 1 bit 4 == volume tags

This call originates from get_element_status() which is only called
from inside do_return(). The volume tag information appears to never
be used, so why ask for it?

>How-To-Repeat:

On a changer without voltag support do:

chio move slot 0 drive 0
chio return drive 0

I haven't been able to test this with any other model than the one I
have.
