Some targets may return slight variations of PQ and PDT to indicate
no LUN mapped.  USB UFI setting PDT=0x1f but having reserved bits for
PQ is one example, and NetApp targets returning PQ=1 and PDT=0x1f is
another.  Both instances seem like reasonable responses according to
SPC-3 and UFI specs.

The current scsi_probe_and_add_lun() code adds a scsi_device 
for targets that return PQ=1 and PDT=0x1f.  This causes LUNs of type 
"UNKNOWN" to show up in /proc/scsi/scsi when no LUNs are mapped. 
In addition, subsequent rescans fail to recognize LUNs that may be 
added on the target, unless preceded by a write to the delete attribute 
of the "UNKNOWN" LUN.

This patch addresses this problem by skipping over the scsi_add_lun() 
when PQ=1,PDT=0x1f is encountered, and just returns 
SCSI_SCAN_TARGET_PRESENT.
