As an aside, this commit does indeed fix the bug I reported, but it
doesn't seem to have gone anywhere, not even into -stable.

(stable has

commit 0ac10bd036f0f3b8ce7ac2390446eab9531c72eb
Author: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Date: Tue Jul 30 22:58:34 2013 -0400

SCSI: Don't attempt to send extended INQUIRY command if skip_vpd_pages is set

which IIRC was eventually found not to be necessary, because this fix
works fine instead?)
