[SCSI] Enable retries for SYNCRONIZE_CACHE commands to fix I/O error
Some arrays are giving I/O errors with ext3 filesystems when SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE gets a UNIT_ATTENTION. What is happening is that these commands have no retries, so the UNIT_ATTENTION causes the barrier to fail. We should be enable retries here to clear any transient error and allow the barrier to succeed.
