scsi: add new scsi-command flag for tagged commands
Currently scsi piggy backs on the block layer to define the concept of a tagged command. But we want to be able to have block-level host-wide tags assigned even for untagged commands like the initial INQUIRY, so add a new SCSI-level flag for commands that are tagged at the scsi level, so that even commands without that set can have tags assigned to them. Note that this alredy is the case for the blk-mq code path, and this just lets the old path catch up with it. We also set this flag based upon sdev->simple_tags instead of the block queue flag, so that it is entirely independent of the block layer tagging, and thus always correct even if a driver doesn't use block level tagging yet. Also remove the old blk_rq_tagged; it was only used by SCSI drivers, and removing it forces them to look for the proper replacement.

if the driver needs to use blk_queue_invalidate_tags().

-blk_rq_tagged(rq) is the portable way to do so.
