2015-11-09st: allow debug output to be enabled or disabled via sysfsSeymour, Shane M
Change st driver to allow enabling or disabling debug output via sysfs file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag. Previously the only way to enable debug output was: 1. loading the driver with the module parameter debug_flag=1 2. an ioctl call (this method was also the only way to dynamically disable debug output). To use the ioctl you need a second tape drive (if you are actively testing the first tape drive) since a second process cannot open the first tape drive if it is in use. The this change is only functional if the value of the macro DEBUG in st.c is a non-zero value (which it is by default).
