Subject: [PATCH 1/4] scsi: add scsi device flag to request VPD pages be used at SPC-2

Under Hyper-V the disk devices support the trim extensions advertising them
via the appropriate VPD pages, it however reports itself as SPC-2 only.
The relevant pages were added in SPC-3 and later, so we do not even
attempt to see if they are present; the VPD page 0 lists which other
pages are present.

Add a scsi quirk bit to allow those devices to hint we can and should
try these VPD pages.
