This isn't the right way to do it:  The overflow bit is a recent
introduction in SPC-4.  The correct way to tell if we have an overflow
or not is to look at the additional sense length and compare it to the
allocation length; this will work for everything.

I'm not even convinced that overflow is important: for a lot of the
sense probes, we deliberately induce overflows by giving the request
sense command a short buffer.  Printing a warning in scsi_check_sense
will get very noisy very fast.
