I agree that we should allwo for better passing of sense data, but I
also think we need to redo the sense handling instead of adding more
warts.
One premise is that with various updates to the standards it will become
more common to generate sense data even if we did not fail the whole
command, so this might be a good opportunity to preparate for that.

So I think we should merge target_complete_failure_work and
target_complete_ok_work as a first step.
Then as a second do away with transport_generic_request_failure and just
have single target_complete_cmd that will return success or error based
on the scsi_status field an generate sense if cmd->sense_reason is set.
Third we should replace SCF_TRANSPORT_TASK_SENSE and
SCF_EMULATED_TASK_SENSE with a single driver visible flag and instead
have a new TCM_PASSTHROUGH_SENSE sense code to not generate new sense
data if pscsi passed on sense data.

At this point you should probably also remove the sense_reason from the
iscsi_cmd now that it's in the generic CMD.
