This reverts commit e6a3531d.

The problem that the commit e6a3531d


fixes was reported as a security bug, but Google engineers working on
Android and ChromeOS didn't want to change the default behavior, they
want to get -EIO rather than restarting the system, so I am reverting
that commit.

Note also that calling machine_restart from the I/O handling code is
potentially unsafe (the reboot notifiers may wait for the bio that
triggered the restart), but Android uses the reboot notifiers to store
the reboot reason into the PMU microcontroller, so machine_restart must
be used.
