[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/2] scsi : fixing the new host byte settings (DID_TARGET_FAILURE and DID_NEXUS_FAILURE)

Resubmitting as my previous post had format issues and did not go linux-scsi.

This patch fixes the host byte settings DID_TARGET_FAILURE and DID_NEXUS_FAILURE.
The function __scsi_error_from_host_byte,  tries to reset the host byte to DID_OK. But that
does not happen because of the OR operation. 

Here is the flow.
scsi_softirq_done-> scsi_decide_disposition -> __scsi_error_from_host_byte

Let's take an example with DID_NEXUS_FAILURE. In scsi_decide_disposition, result will be set as
DID_NEXUS_FAILURE (=0x11). Then in __scsi_error_from_host_byte, when we do OR with 
DID_OK.  Purpose is to reset it back to DID_OK. But that does not happen.  This patch fixes this issue.
