[SCSI] drivers/base/bus.c - export reprobe

Adding support for exposing hidden raid components for sg
interface. The sdev->no_uld_attach flag will set set accordingly.

The sas module supports adding/removing raid volumes using online
storage management application interface.

This patch was provided to me by Christoph Hellwig.
