I should not have written "on a UA" above. We want to retry every UA
except that first entries in that array.

This first and second entry says if we see it then fail. However, if
it's not that specific failure value, then the last entry
SCMD_FAILURE_STAT_ANY kicks in and scsi_execute_cmd will retry.

It's so for this chunk:

-			the_result = scsi_execute_cmd(sdkp->device, cmd,
-						      REQ_OP_DRV_IN, NULL, 0,
-						      SD_TIMEOUT,
-						      sdkp->max_retries,
-						      &exec_args);
 
-			if (the_result > 0) {
-				/*
-				 * If the drive has indicated to us that it
-				 * doesn't have any media in it, don't bother
-				 * with any more polling.
-				 */
-				if (media_not_present(sdkp, &sshdr)) {
-					if (media_was_present)
-						sd_printk(KERN_NOTICE, sdkp,
-							  "Media removed, stopped polling\n");
-					return;
-				}

we will not retry if we get media_not_present but then retry here:

-		} while (retries < 3 &&
-			 (!scsi_status_is_good(the_result) ||
-			  (scsi_status_is_check_condition(the_result) &&
-			  sense_valid && sshdr.sense_key == UNIT_ATTENTION)));
