bsg: split handling of SCSI CDBs vs transport requeues
The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough requests. This has a couple problems: - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all. Because of that these queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl. - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse different SCSI concepts for its own purpose. This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases differently, and thus solves all of the above problems. Another side effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a struct scsi_request anymore.
