[PATCH] scsi-disk: Don't silently truncate serial number

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Before this commit, scsi-disk accepts a string of arbitrary length for
its "serial" property. However, the value visible on the guest is
actually truncated to 36 characters. This limitation doesn't come from
the SCSI specification, it is an arbitrary limit that was initially
picked as 20 and later bumped to 36 by commit 48b62063.

Similarly, device_id was introduced as a copy of the serial number,
limited to 20 characters, but commit 48b62063 forgot to actually bump
it.

As long as we silently truncate the given string, extending the limit is
actually not a harmless change, but break the guest ABI. This is the
most important reason why commit 48b62063 was really wrong (and it's
also why we can't change device_id to be in sync with the serial number
again and use 36 characters now, it would be another guest ABI
breakage).

In order to avoid future breakage, don't silently truncate the serial
number string any more, but just error out if it would be truncated.
