[SCSI] use scatter lists for all block pc requests and simplify hw handlers
Here's the proof of concept for this one. It converts scsi_wait_req to
do correct REQ_BLOCK_PC submission (and works nicely in my setup).
The final goal should be to eliminate struct scsi_request, but that
can't be done until the character submission paths of sg and st are also
modified.
There's some loss of functionality to this: retries are no longer
controllable (except by setting REQ_FASTFAIL) and the wait_req API needs
to be altered, but it looks very nice.
