[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands
We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.) but any command accessing the storage medium will time out. The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk driver. If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can be tweaked in sysfs. Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be easily reproduced.
