Changing the state of a SCSI device via sysfs into "cancel" or

Hence do not allow this. Also, introduce the symbolic name
INVALID_SDEV_STATE, representing a value different from any valid
SCSI device state. Update scsi_device_set_state() such that gcc
does not issue a warning about an enumeration value not being
handled inside a switch statement.
zero is the invalid state, that's why the SDEV_ states start at 1.
Using a bare zero also means that gcc doesn't have to consider it in the
switch statement, so there's no need to introduce a new one.
If we want to try to babysit user initiated state changes, then it looks
like OFFLINE<->RUNNING might be the only useful ones?
How about the BLOCKED<>RUNNING and QUIESCE<>RUNNING transitions ? I
think it may be useful for a user to trigger these as well.
