[PATCH v4 1/4] scsi: set to WCE if usb cache quirk is present.

[Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Make use of USB quirk method to identify such HDD while reading
the cache status in sd_probe(). If cache quirk is present for
the HDD, lets assume that cache is enabled and make WCE bit
equal to 1.
