qemu: Don't build cache= cmd line for scsi-block
Trying to set any cache for <disk device='lun'/> makes no sense.
Such disk translates into -device scsi-block on the command line
and the device lacks any cache setting because it's merely a
middle man between qemu and real SCSI device.
Verified on libvirt-4.5.0-2.virtcov.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-7.el7.x86_64:
1. Prepare a VM, disk of scsi controller, with cache='writeback'
# virsh dumpxml usb|awk '/<disk/,/<\/disk/'
<disk type='block' device='lun'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>
<source dev='/dev/sdb'/>
<target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>
2. Try to start the VM, then check the qemu cmdline:
# virsh start usb
Domain usb started
# ps aux|grep 'qemu.*cache'

3. Try to detach the disk
# virsh detach-disk usb sdb
Disk detached successfully
# virsh dumpxml usb|awk '/<disk/,/<\/disk/'
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/usb.qcow2'/>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<alias name='scsi0-0-0-0'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
Works as expected. Verified.
