Two changes are required to route commands to ATAPI LUNs other than 0:

1. __ata_scsi_find_dev(): The existing code rejects any scsi_device
with a non-zero LUN, returning NULL and dropping the command on
the floor. Hoist a non-zero LUN early-exit ahead of the original
channel/id checks: when scsidev->lun is non-zero, allow it through
only if the underlying ata_device is ATAPI class. The original
LUN-0 path is left structurally unchanged.

2. atapi_xlat(): Older ATAPI devices (SCSI-2 era) expect the LUN in
CDB byte 1 bits 7:5 rather than relying on transport-level LUN
addressing. Encode scmd->device->lun into those bits, preserving
the existing command-specific bits in 4:0. This is required by
both the Panasonic PD/CD combos and Nakamichi CD changers.

The SCSI layer caps the LUN at shost->max_lun, so a value beyond
the device's nr_luns should never reach this point; guard with
WARN_ON_ONCE() and return AC_ERR_INVALID if it does, since the
3-bit CDB field cannot represent it.
