scsi: core: Consult supported VPD page list prior to fetching page
commit b5fc07a5 upstream. Commit c92a6b5d ("scsi: core: Query VPD size before getting full page") removed the logic which checks whether a VPD page is present on the supported pages list before asking for the page itself. That was done because SPC helpfully states "The Supported VPD Pages VPD page list may or may not include all the VPD pages that are able to be returned by the device server". Testing had revealed a few devices that supported some of the 0xBn pages but didn't actually list them in page 0. Julian Sikorski bisected a problem with his drive resetting during discovery to the commit above. As it turns out, this particular drive firmware will crash if we attempt to fetch page 0xB9. Various approaches were attempted to work around this. In the end, reinstating the logic that consults VPD page 0 before fetching any other page was the path of least resistance. A firmware update for the devices which originally compelled us to remove the check has since been released.
