[SCSI] st: add MTWEOFI to write filemarks without flushing drive buffer

This patch adds a new MTIOCTOP operation MTWEOFI that writes filemarks with
immediate bit set. This means that the drive does not flush its buffer and the
next file can be started immediately. This speeds up writing in applications
that have to write multiple small files.
