scsi_decode_sense_extras() is utterly weird, as it only decodes 
tape-specific sense extras. Seeing that 'st' and 'osst' already 
contains code to handle those cases we should remove this function 
altogether, as it doesn't serve any purpose.

Has been removed with my next scsi logging update, so this patch is 
not applicable anymore.

Cheers,

Hannes
