[SCSI] enable clustering for tmscsim



following an email from John Adams <johna@onevista.com> to me with a patch
to enable tmscsim to use blocks up to 1MB and a discussion on linux-scsi,
below is a patch to enable clustering for tmscsim. I made it switchable
with a module parameter, with default "enable" - in case somebody gets
problems with it. Unfortunately, I was not able to check if this alone
lets you use any bigger blocks with a tape, as my tape seems to only
support 1 block size - only "mt setblk 1" is successful, any other value
fails. OTOH, testing on a P-133 showed that enabling clustering alone
improves throughput by 10% and reduces CPU load by another 10%, so, seems
a worthy thing to do. As for setting max_sectors, that might become a
separate patch...
