sd does not allow scsi_io_completion to retry commands for
SG_IO requests, and it make sense that it should not happen for st
SG_IO commands too. If for st we hit the bottom of scsi_io_completion
we will probably screw things up pretty bad. This patch returns to the
block layer that the whole command completed and relies on the caller to check
the request errors field. For initialization commands like in sd, this adds
the previous behavior where scsi_io_completion did not process the error.
When st is converted to using the REQ_BLOCK_PC requests, allowing
scsi-ml's scsi_io_completion to driver retires also causes a bug
since st normallly wants retries=0 (Bug found from Kai).
