Hyper-V host emulation of SCSI for virtual DVD device reports SCSI
version 0 (UNKNOWN) but is still capable of supporting REPORTLUN.
Without this patch, a GEN2 Linux guest on Hyper-V will not boot 4.11
successfully with virtual DVD ROM device. What happens is that the
SCSI scan process falls back to doing sequential probing by INQUIRY.
But the storvsc driver has a previous workaround that masks/blocks all
errors reports from INQUIRY (or MODE_SENSE) commands. This workaround
causes the scan to then populate a full set of bogus LUN's on the
target and then sends kernel spinning off into a death spiral doing
block reads on the non-existent LUNs.
By setting the correct blacklist flags, the target with the
DVD device is scanned with REPORTLUN and that works correctly.
Patch needs to go in current 4.11, it is safe but not necessary
in older kernels.

PS: The error handling does need to be fixed (have patches pending)
but that is interrelated with hotplug and can wait.
