os_linux.cpp: Use SG_IO instead of deprecated SCSI ioctl

Description
Some controller specific functions in os_linux.cpp still use some old SCSI pass-through ioctl. This may result in syslog messages like:
... kernel: [...] program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO
SG_IO should be used if supported.

Places affected:
- SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND in the
sisc_cmnd_io
, usinglinux_ioctl_send_command
structure, called only fromdo_normal_scsi_cmnd_io
, should be addressed by #782. - In the
linux_escalade_device::ata_pass_through
(usingTW_Ioctl
structure) - In the
linux_marvell_device::ata_command_interface
(sendingmvsata_scsi_cmd
structure)
I think that it would be hard, if possible to fix 2 and 3, because we do not have access to this hardware. So i think we can close it after merging #782.

- Was not intended to be addressed by this ticket as the generic SCSI code already used
SG_IO
if supported. SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
is only used ifm_escalade_type==AMCC_3WARE_678K
for very old 3ware (6|7|8)000 (P|P|S)ATA RAID controllers.- If have no idea whether
-d marvell
does still work and is still useful (see also #54). Original code was merged to trunk 13+ years ago in r1881. Related hardware is likely outdated.
