usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size
usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size Some devices, such as Huawei E169, advertise more than the standard amount of sense data, causing us to set US_FL_SANE_SENSE, assuming they support it. However, they subsequently fail the request sense with that size. This works around it generically. When a sense request fails due to a device returning an error, US_FL_SANE_SENSE was set, and that sense request used a larger sense size, we retry with a smaller size before giving up.
