[SCSI] ipr: Support new device queueing model

New ipr adapters support a new device queueing model in the
adapter firmware. The queueing model is the NACA queueing model,
but it does not mean use of NACA is required. The new model removes
some of the adapter firmware queue state that made handling QERR=0
almost impossible. The queueing model on older adapters included the
concept of a queue frozen state, which would freeze the response
queue in the adapter when a check condition occurred, requiring a
a primitive to resume the queue. The new queueing model removes this
complexity.
