firewire: fw-sbp2: set single-phase retry_limit 

Per the SBP-2 specification, all SBP-2 target devices must have a BUSY_TIMEOUT
register. Per the 1394-1995 specification, the retry_limt portion of the
register should be set to 0x0 initially, and set on the target by a logged in
initiator (i.e., a Linux host w/firewire controller(s)).

Well, as it turns out, lots of devices these days have actually moved on to
starting to implement SBP-3 compliance, which says that retry_limit should
default to 0xf instead (yes, SBP-3 stomps directly on 1394-1995, oops).

Prior to this change, the firewire driver stack didn't touch retry_limit, and
any SBP-3 compliant device worked fine, while SBP-2 compliant ones were unable
to retransmit when the host returned an ack_busy_X, which resulted in stalled
out I/O, eventually causing the SCSI layer to give up and offline the device.

The simple fix is for us to set retry_limit to 0xf in the register for all
devices (which actually matches what the old ieee1394 stack did).

Prior to this change, a hard disk behind an SBP-2 Prolific PL-3507 bridge chip
would routinely encounter buffer I/O errors and wind up offlined by the SCSI
layer. With this change, I've encountered zero I/O failures moving tens of GB
of data around.
