MFC r317854:
When editing a mode page on a tape drive, do not clear the device
specific parameter.
Tape drives include write protect (WP), Buffered Mode and Speed
settings in the device-specific parameter. Clearing this
parameter on a mode select can have the effect of turning off
write protect or buffered mode, or changing the speed setting of
the tape drive.
Disks report DPO/FUA support via the device specific parameter
for MODE SENSE, but the bit is reserved for MODE SELECT. So we
clear this for disks (and other non-tape devices) to avoid
potential errors from the target device.
sbin/camcontrol/modeedit.c:
Clear the device-specific parameter in the mode page
header if we're not operating on a tape drive.
