[SCSI] st: add MTWEOFI to write filemarks without flushing drive buffer This patch adds a new MTIOCTOP operation MTWEOFI that writes filemarks with immediate bit set. This means that the drive does not flush its buffer and the next file can be started immediately. This speeds up writing in applications that have to write multiple small files.
