Merge patch series "scsi: Allow scsi_execute users to request retries"

Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> says:

The following patches were made over Linus's tree which contains a fix
for sd which was not in Martin's branches.

The patches allow scsi_execute_cmd users to have scsi-ml retry the cmd
for it instead of the caller having to parse the error and loop
itself.
