Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drivers: scsi: storvsc: Don't pass ATA_16 command to the host

The current Windows hosts don't handle the ATA_16 command and furthermore
return a generic error code after filtering the command on the host side.
For now filter the command on the guest side until the host is modified to
properly handle unsupported commands.
