There's nothing obviously wrong with this change. However based on all
the preceding discussion, I now think the best approach may be _never_
to make up a fake serial number. Use the module parameter, if any, and
otherwise issue a warning and don't have a serial number string
descriptor (even though that violates the spec).

At this point it should be easy to write a patch to implement and
document the new behavior, for both file-storage and mass-storage.
