Hi -

I noticed that the tape drivers (st.c and osst.c) are not using the
scsi_ioctl() for door locking, so they won't ever set the new
Scsi_Device::locked.

There is some auto-relock code, but AFAICT (at least st.c, searching for
MTLOCK) it will only relock after a reset (if was_reset is still set),
and we are calling st_ioctl() for one of these MT commands:

	MTREW MTOFFL MTRETEN MTERASE MTSEEK MTEOM

The user can't even relock the door unless one of the above commands 
was sent (again, if was_reset is still set).

The auto-relock in rw_checks() is never hit if was_reset is set.

Kai - should st.c (and osst.c?) be using scsi_ioctl(SCSI_IOCTL_DOORLOCK/UNLOCK)?
