[PATCH] scsi: sg: Enable runtime power management

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

In 2010, runtime power management support was implemented in the SCSI core.
The description of patch "[SCSI] implement runtime Power Management"
mentions that the sg driver is skipped but not why. This patch enables
runtime power management even if an instance of the sg driver is held open.
Enabling runtime PM for the sg driver is safe because all interactions of
the sg driver with the SCSI device pass through the block layer
(blk_execute_rq_nowait()) and the block layer already supports runtime PM.
