Commit 9604eea5bd3a ("scsi: st: Add third party poweron reset handling")
in v6.6 added new code to handle the Power On/Reset Unit Attention
(POR UA) sense data. This was in addition to the existing method. When
this Unit Attention is received, the driver blocks attempts to read,
write and some other operations because the reset may have rewinded
the tape. Because of the added code, also the initial POR UA resulted
in blocking operations, including those that are used to set the driver
options after the device is recognized. Also, reading and writing are
refused, whereas they succeeded before this commit.
This patch adds code to not set pos_unknown to block operations if the
POR UA is received from the first test_ready() call after the st device
has been created. This restores the behavior before v6.6.
