[SCSI] Add detailed SCSI I/O errors
Instead of just passing 'EIO' for any I/O error we should be notifying the upper layers with more details about the cause of this error. Update the possible I/O errors to: - ENOLINK: Link failure between host and target - EIO: Retryable I/O error - EREMOTEIO: Non-retryable I/O error - EBADE: I/O error restricted to the I_T_L nexus 'Retryable' in this context means that an I/O error _might_ be restricted to the I_T_L nexus (vulgo: path), so retrying on another nexus / path might succeed. 'Non-retryable' in general refers to a target failure, so this error will always be generated regardless of the I_T_L nexus it was send on. I/O errors restricted to the I_T_L nexus might be retried on another nexus / path, but they should _not_ be queued if no paths are available.
