This is a somewhat fragile approach. You don't know for certain that
scsi_noretry_cmd will be called. Also, scsi_noretry_cmd can be called
from other places.
It would be better to clear the expecting_media_change flag just before
returning from scsi_decide_disposition. That way its use is localized
to one routine, not spread out between two.
