WWID composed from VPD data from device, specifically page 0x83. So,
when a device does not have VPD support, for example USB storage devices
where VPD is specifically disabled, a read into <blk device>/device/wwid
file will always return ENXIO. To avoid this, change the
scsi_sdev_attr_is_visible function to hide wwid sysfs file when the
devices does not support VPD.
