That's a merge error of mine, resulting from a non-conflicting semantics change.
The type of make_request_fn has changed to void, but the nvme driver
was based on the older version.
It's benign in that in the absence of truly crazy calling conventions
it has no relevance apart from unnecessarily clearing the return value
that now doesn't exist and isn't used, but the warning is clearly
annoying.
I pushed out the obvious fix.
