[SCSI] st: add option to use SILI in variable block reads
Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable
block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does
not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the
residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every
block speeds up some real applications considerably.
