[PATCH 1/3] [SCSI] Add quirk for forcing logical block provisioning tests

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Despite supporting modern SCSI features (such an UNMAP) some storage
devices continue to claim conformance to an older version of the SPC
spec for compatibility with legacy operating systems.

Linux by default will not attempt to read VPD pages on devices that
claim SPC-2 or older.

Introduce a blacklist flag that allows the forcing of the paths leading
to logical block provisioning tests.

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/59 for the previous version.
