[SCSI] constants.c: cleanup, verbose result printing
From: Martin K. Petersen
Clean up constants.c and make result printing more user friendly:
- Refactor the command and sense functions so that the actual
formatting can be called from the various helper functions with the
correct prefix.
- Replace scsi_print_hostbyte() and scsi_print_driverbyte() with
scsi_print_result() which is verbose when CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS is
on.
