Is it getting failed by accident? In scsi_io_completion we check for UAs
and will retry if the removable bit is not set. That check is after
scsi_end_request though (is the scsi_end_request call failing the IO).
Did you guys also want REPORTED_LUNS_DATA_HAS_CHANGED to be retried too.
I think scsi_dh_alua's REPORTED_LUNS_DATA_HAS_CHANGED maybe should be
genericly retried, because it seems for both errors we will want to
retry for all devices.
