scsi: Recent kernels drop into emergency shell

[Srikar Dronamraju]

On a freshly installed system, booting latest upstream kernels causes the
system to drop into emergency shell. The reason for dropping into emergency
shell is system is unable to mount /home partition.

The system was able to boot properly on v5.18 kernel, but failed to boot
v5.19 and 6.2-rc8 kernels.

On the recent or failing kernels, I see the below msg when kernel drops into
emergency shell.

lvm[1370]: /dev/sda3 excluded: device is not in devices file.

Commit c92a6b5d6335 ("scsi: core: Query VPD size before getting full page")
went in between v5.18 and v5.19.

Verifications:
I have verified that reverting the said bad commit on top of v6.2-rc8, v5.19
and on top of c92a6b5d63359dd6d2ce6ea88ecd8e31dd769f6b causes the system to
boot normally.
