[PATCH v15 38/45] sg: warn v3 write system call users

[Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com>]

Should generate one log message per kernel run when the write()
system call is used with the sg interface version 3. Due to
security concerns suggest that they use ioctl(SG_SUBMIT_v3)
instead.

Sg interface version 1 or 2 based code may also be calling
write() in this context. There is no easy solution for them
(short of upgrading their interface to version 3 or 4), so
don't produce a warning suggesting the conversion will be
simple.
