Martin Wilck 8c292e89bd scsi: Revert "scsi: Fix sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans" ...

This reverts commit 37c4e72b06.

Said commit causes excessive resource usage and even system freeze with
some controllers, e.g. smartpqi and hisi_sas. The justification provided
by the patch authors [1] was supporting a special mode of the mpi3mr and
mpt3sas, so-called "Tri-mode", in which NVMe drives are exposed as SCSI
devices on a separate channel. While that's useful for these drivers, it
seems wrong to cause major breakage for other drivers for the sake of
this feature.
