scsi: ipr: do not set DID_PASSTHROUGH on CHECK CONDITION
On a dual controller setup with multipath enabled, some MEDIUM ERRORs
caused both paths to be failed, thus I/O got queued/blocked since the
'queue_if_no_path' feature is enabled by default on IPR controllers.
This example disabled 'queue_if_no_path' so the I/O failure is seen at
the sg_dd program. Notice that after the sg_dd test-case, both paths
are in 'failed' state, and both path/priority groups are in 'enabled'
state (not 'active') -- which would block I/O with 'queue_if_no_path'.

This is not the desired behavior. The dm-multipath explicitly checks
for the MEDIUM ERROR case (and a few others) so not to fail the path
(e.g., I/O to other sectors could potentially happen without problems).
See dm-mpath.c :: do_end_io_bio() -> noretry_error() !->! fail_path().
The problem trace is:
1) ipr_scsi_done() // SENSE KEY/CHECK CONDITION detected, go to..
2) ipr_erp_start() // ipr_is_gscsi() and masked_ioasc OK, go to..
3) ipr_gen_sense() // masked_ioasc is IPR_IOASC_MED_DO_NOT_REALLOC,
// so set DID_PASSTHROUGH.
4) scsi_decide_disposition() // check for DID_PASSTHROUGH and return
// early on, faking a DID_OK.. *instead*
// of reaching scsi_check_sense().
// Had it reached the latter, that would
// set host_byte to DID_MEDIUM_ERROR.
5) scsi_finish_command()
6) scsi_io_completion()
7) __scsi_error_from_host_byte() // That would be converted to -ENODATA
<...>
8) dm_softirq_done()
9) multipath_end_io()
10) do_end_io()
11) noretry_error() // And that is checked in dm-mpath :: noretry_error()
// which would cause fail_path() not to be called.
With this patch applied, the I/O is failed but the paths are not. This
multipath device continues accepting more I/O requests without blocking.
(and notice the different host byte/driver byte handling per SCSI layer).
