Martin Wilck da4853eb46 scsi: Revert "scsi: Fix sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans"
[ Upstream commit 8c292e89bd ]

This reverts commit 37c4e72b06.

Said commit causes excessive resource usage and even system freeze with
some controllers, e.g. smartpqi and hisi_sas. The justification provided
by the patch authors [1] was supporting a special mode of the mpi3mr and
mpt3sas, so-called "Tri-mode", in which NVMe drives are exposed as SCSI
devices on a separate channel. While that's useful for these drivers, it
seems wrong to cause major breakage for other drivers for the sake of
this feature.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
