This patch fixes spc_emulate_inquiry_std() to add trailing ASCII spaces for INQUIRY vendor + model fields following SPC-4 text: "ASCII data fields described as being left-aligned shall have any unused bytes at the end of the field (i.e., highest offset) and the unused bytes shall be filled with ASCII space characters (20h)." This addresses a problem with Falconstor NSS multipathing.
