[PATCH 2/2] sd, scsi_lib: fix recognition of cache type of InitioSBP-2 bridges

[Stefan Richter]

sd, scsi_lib: fix recognition of cache type of Initio SBP-2 bridges

Regardless what mode page was asked for, Initio INIC-14x0 and INIC-2430
always return page 6 without mode page headers. Check for this breakage in
scsi_mode_sense().

Taken from a patch by Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

Depends on patch "sd: fix memory corruption by sd_read_cache_type".

This cache type fix is applicable to 2.6.14, 2.6.15, and 2.6.16 as well
but is definitely of less importance than the memory corruption patch.
