scsi: target: transport should handle st FM/EOM/ILI reads
When a tape drive is exported via LIO using the pscsi module, a read that requests more bytes per block than the tape can supply returns an empty buffer. This is because the pscsi pass-through target module sees the "ILI" illegal length bit set and thinks there is no reason to return the data. This is a long-standing transport issue, since it assumes that no data need be returned under a check condition, which isn't always the case for tape. Add in a check for tape reads with the ILI, EOM, or FM bits set, with a sense code of NO_SENSE, treating such cases as if the read succeeded. The layered tape driver then "does the right thing" when it gets such a response.
