scsi: turn "is this a SCSI device?" into a conditional hint 

If the user does not have permissions to send ioctls to the device (due to
SELinux or cgroups, for example), the output can look like

qemu-kvm: -device scsi-block,drive=disk: cannot get SG_IO version number:
  Operation not permitted.  Is this a SCSI device?

but this is confusing because the ioctl was blocked _before_ the device
even received the SG_GET_VERSION_NUM ioctl.  Therefore, for EPERM errors
the suggestion should be eliminated.  To make that simpler, change the
code to use error_append_hint.
