SubjectRe: [PATCH] scsi: sd: Update dix config everytime sd_revalidate_disk is called

DIX is orthogonal to DIF and a host property. DIX should not be disabled
just because the disk is no longer formatted with protection
information.

That said, your patch is probably fine. I'll take a closer look
tomorrow.
