scsi_id: correct error handling in prepend_vendor_model
The callers of prepend_vendor_model both expect < 0 to be returned on
error and the index to be returned otherwise. However
prepend_vendor_model actually returns 1 on error. Fix this by correctly
returning -1.
Older kernels (before e5b3cd42: "SCSI: sanitize INQUIRY strings")
truncated the model field in sysfs (or propagated bad results from the
target) to less than the expected/required 16 characters which meant
that the SCSI id was mangled into:
# /sbin/scsi_id -g -s /block/sdg
S146cee20VIRTUAL-DISK
when it should have been:
# /sbin/scsi_id -g -s /block/sdg
SIET VIRTUAL-DISK 146cee20
Notice how the serial number has been pasted over the vendor+model at
index 1 instead of being added at the end.
In the former case:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/host5/session1/target5:0:0/5:0:0:1/model | od -t c -t x1
0000000 V I R T U A L - D I S K \n
56 49 52 54 55 41 4c 2d 44 49 53 4b 0a
But it should have been:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/host5/session1/target5:0:0/5:0:0:1/model | od -t c -t x1
0000000 V I R T U A L - D I S K
56 49 52 54 55 41 4c 2d 44 49 53 4b 20 20 20 20
0000020 \n
0a
