[PATCH] block: change blk_get_meta_cap() stub return -ENOIOCTLCMD

When introduced in commit 9eb22f7fedfc ("fs: add ioctl to query metadata
and protection info capabilities") the stub of blk_get_meta_cap() for
!BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY always returns -EOPNOTSUPP. The motivation was that
while the command was unsupported in that configuration it was still
recognized.

A later change instead assumed -ENOIOCTLCMD as is required for unknown
ioctl commands per Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst. The result being
that on !BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY configs, any ioctl which reaches
blkdev_common_ioctl() will return -EOPNOTSUPP.

Change the stub to return -ENOIOCTLCMD, fixing the issue and better
matching with expectations.
