scsi: ipr: do not set DID_PASSTHROUGH on CHECK CONDITION

On a dual controller setup with multipath enabled, some MEDIUM ERRORs
caused both paths to be failed, thus I/O got queued/blocked since the
'queue_if_no_path' feature is enabled by default on IPR controllers.

This example disabled 'queue_if_no_path' so the I/O failure is seen at
the sg_dd program.  Notice that after the sg_dd test-case, both paths
are in 'failed' state, and both path/priority groups are in 'enabled'
state (not 'active') -- which would block I/O with 'queue_if_no_path'.

    read(unix): count=4096, res=-1

    <...>

      `- 1:2:7:0  sdae 65:224 failed undef running

This is not the desired behavior. The dm-multipath explicitly checks
for the MEDIUM ERROR case (and a few others) so not to fail the path
(e.g., I/O to other sectors could potentially happen without problems).
See dm-mpath.c :: do_end_io_bio() -> noretry_error() !->! fail_path().

The problem trace is:

1) ipr_scsi_done()  // SENSE KEY/CHECK CONDITION detected, go to..
2) ipr_erp_start()  // ipr_is_gscsi() and masked_ioasc OK, go to..
3) ipr_gen_sense()  // masked_ioasc is IPR_IOASC_MED_DO_NOT_REALLOC,
                    // so set DID_PASSTHROUGH.

4) scsi_decide_disposition()  // check for DID_PASSTHROUGH and return
                              // early on, faking a DID_OK.. *instead*
                              // of reaching scsi_check_sense().

                              // Had it reached the latter, that would
                              // set host_byte to DID_MEDIUM_ERROR.

5) scsi_finish_command()
6) scsi_io_completion()
7) __scsi_error_from_host_byte()  // That would be converted to -ENODATA
<...>
8) dm_softirq_done()
9) multipath_end_io()
10) do_end_io()
11) noretry_error()  // And that is checked in dm-mpath :: noretry_error()
                     // which would cause fail_path() not to be called.

With this patch applied, the I/O is failed but the paths are not.  This
multipath device continues accepting more I/O requests without blocking.
(and notice the different host byte/driver byte handling per SCSI layer).
