depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly.

Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions
depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly.
This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have
enabled this for a long time.

I've applied it, but I had to both hand-apply it (due to fuzz in the
first hunk) and fix a white space damage at the end of a line.
