This has sd_sync_cache have scsi-ml retry errors instead of driving them
itself.
There is one behavior change where we no longer retry when
scsi_execute_cmd returns < 0, but we should be ok. We don't need to retry
for failures like the queue being removed, and for the case where there
are no tags/reqs the block layer waits/retries for us. For possible memory
allocation failures from blk_rq_map_kern we use GFP_NOIO, so retrying
will probably not help.
