Subject:   first INQUIRY goes round in circles (fwd)

The very first command issued by XPT, INQUIRY, goes round in circles if
a drive chooses to not reset a Unit Attention (UA) error. It retries the
INQUIRY command indefinitely (I have no idea why, but my gut feeling is
that somewhere a new INQUIRY command is issued to get some sensible
info from the drive, which then ends up in a loop)


The UFI (SCSI derivative) USB device (Y-E Data Flashbuster-U floppy
drive) I have here is broken as it INQUIRY - REQUEST SENSE - INQUIRY
returns the same sense code (sense key = 0x06, asc = 0x29, ascq = 0x00)
again at the second INQUIRY command, because the INQUIRY does not clear
the UA state.

As this is the very first command tried, it is impossible to use a
device specific quirk.

I suggest the following patch. It might have the following problems:

- Test Unit Ready not supported by some devices
- Devices reporting more than 4 UA states (4 is the number of retries
  in scsi_inquiry)

Let me know.

Nick
