With the introduction of commit e39a97353e53 ("scsi: core: return BLK_STS_OK for DID_OK in __scsi_error_from_host_byte()"), a command that failed with hostbyte=DID_OK and driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE but lacking additional sense information will have a return code set to BLK_STS_OK. This results in the request issuer to see successful request execution despite the failure. An example of such case is an unaligned write on a host managed ZAC disk connected to a SAS HBA with a malfunctioning SAT. The unaligned write command gets aborted but has no additional sense information.

In scsi_io_completion(), sense key handling to not change the request error code and success being reported to the issuer.
Fix this by making sure that the error code always indicates an error if scsi_io_completion() decide that the action to be taken for a failed command is to not retry it and terminate it immediately (ACTION_FAIL) .
