Fix the `tape drive spinning indefinately upon mt stat' problem.

Browse Source 
With the recent changes in the CAM error handling, some problems in
the error handling of sa(4) have been uncovered.  Basically, a number
of conditions that are not actually errors have been mistreated as
genuine errors.  In particular:

. Trying to read in variable length mode with a mismatched blocksize
  between the on-tape (virtual) blocks and the read(2) supplied buffer
  size, causing an ILI SCSI condition, have caused an attempt to retry
  the supposedly `errored' transfer, causing the tape to be read
  continuously until it eventually hit EOM.  Since by default any
  simple mt(1) operation does an initial test read, an `mt stat' was
  sufficient to trigger this bug.

  Note that it's Justin's opinion that treating a NO SENSE as an EIO
  is another bug in CAM.  I feel not authorized to fix cam_periph.c
  without another confirmation that i'm on the right track, however.

. Hitting a filemark caused the read(2) syscall to return EIO, instead
  of returning a `short read'.  Note that the current fix only solves
  this problem in variable length mode.  Fixed length mode uses a
  different code path, and since i didn't grok all the intentions behind
  that handling, i did not touch it (IOW: it's still broken, and you get
  an EIO upon hitting a filemark).

The solution is to keep track of those conditions inside saerror(),
and upon completion to not call cam_periph_error() in that case.  We
need to make sure that the device gets unfrozen if needed though (in
case of actual errors, cam_periph_error() does this on our behalf).

Not objected by:       mjacob (who currently doesn't have the time to
			      review the patch)
