Subject: [PATCH] scsi_error: Fix language abuse.


The word "illegal" has a precise dictionary meaning of "prohibited by
law". The error messages are therefore incorrect as so far nobody has
made SCSI violations a criminal offence.

This corrects scsi to match various other subsystems I've slowly been
ridding of this.
