Subject: [PATCH scsi] Short the path length of scsi_cmd_to_driver()

Hi James, Martin,  

Here is the updated version, please help to review.

Thanks, Zhong

========
As suggested by James: this patch tries to short the path length of
scsi_cmd_to_driver(). As only REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands can be
submitted without a driver, so we could avoid the related NULL 
checking, as long as we make sure we don't use it for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
type commands. Plus, this fixes a bug where you get different behaviors
from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands when a driver is and isn't attached. 

And Martin pointed out that we could have eh action be triggered for 
REQ_TYPE_FS type only.
