bsg: split handling of SCSI CDBs vs transport requeues



The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific
passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough
requests.  This has a couple problems:

 - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag
   despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all.  Because of that these
   queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel
   users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
 - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the
   BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type
 - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse
   different SCSI concepts for its own purpose.

This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases
differently, and thus solves all of the above problems.  Another side
effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a
struct scsi_request anymore.
