[SCSI] sd: Update WRITE SAME heuristics


The regression was introduced as of v3.11-rc1, but it also made it's way
into the stable trees.

I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this by
you. I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.12, but I wanted to
get your feedback first.


James queued this up for 3.13

Maybe we should try to convince James to take it into 3.12?


Cheers,
Bernd
