It has been observed that Toshiba DT01ACA family drives have
WRITE FPDMA QUEUED command timeouts and sometimes just freeze until
power-cycled under heavy write loads when their temperature is getting
polled in SCT mode. The SMART mode seems to be fine, though.
Let's make sure we don't use SCT mode for these drives then.
While only the 3 TB model was actually caught exhibiting the problem let's
play safe here to avoid data corruption and extend the ban to the whole
family.

Notes:
This behavior was observed on two different DT01ACA3 drives.
Usually, a series of queued WRITE FPDMA QUEUED commands just time out,
but sometimes the whole drive freezes. Merely disconnecting and
reconnecting SATA interface cable then does not unfreeze the drive.
One has to disconnect and reconnect the drive power connector for the
drive to be detected again (suggesting the drive firmware itself has
crashed).
This only happens when the drive temperature is polled very often (like
every second), so occasional SCT usage via smartmontools is probably
safe.

Why strncmp, and why length 16 ? Both strings are, as far as I can see,
0 terminated. A fixed length only asks for trouble later on as more models
are added to the list.
Also, please use "!" instead of "== 0".

The first 16 bytes of sdev->model contain the model number, the rest
seems to be the drive serial number.
There is no NULL separator between them.
See how the SCSI device model is printed for the sysfs "model"
attribute:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.8-rc4/source/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c#L654

Will do.

If the "16" is based on some SCSI standard, there should be
a define for it somewhere. Otherwise, the comparison should
use strlen(sct_avoid_models[ctr]) and explain the reason.
In the latter case, it might possibly make sense to match
"TOSHIBA DT01ACA" to also catch later models.

The "model" field seems to contain just the raw SCSI INQUIRY
"product identification" field, which is space-filled to 16 bytes, but
is not NULL-terminated.
The SCSI layer seems to just open-code the number 16 everywhere, can't
see any specific define for this.

Will use strlen() for prefix matching and match on the
"TOSHIBA DT01ACA" prefix then.
