ata: libata-scsi: do not raise UA for storage element depopulation and restoration

Browse source

The libata command completion for the ATA commands REMOVE ELEMENT AND
TRUNCATE and RESTORE ELEMENTS AND REBUILD is handled using the function
ata_scsi_depop_ua_cap_changed_complete(). This completion function raises
a UNIT ATTENTION with the additional sense code CAPACITY DATA HAS CHANGED.
But doing so, the scsi layer seeing the UNIT ATTENTION sense key ends up
failing the command, even if the command result is in fact OK.

The SAT specifications do provide more details about the capacity change
should be notified, and that relies on the ACCESSIBLE CAPACITY field of
the IDENTIFY DATA retrieved before or after the command is issued, and
then raising a UNIT ATTENTION if the capacity has really changed. However,
we do not have any simple mean to raise a unit attention from libata-scsi.
So rather than seeing the REMOVE ELEMENT AND TRUNCATE and RESTORE ELEMENTS
AND REBUILD commands failing, remove the function
ata_scsi_depop_ua_cap_changed_complete() and rely on the regular
completion callback. Since for now these commands can only be issued as
passthrough commands, the user is responsible for revalidating the device
capacity after executing these commands.
