When the host protection capabilities are 0x77 and a DIF disk is connected,
the DIX and DIF of the disk are default enabled. Then if that DIF disk is
reformatted as a non-DIF format, per the currently flow, the DIX is kept
enabled which is not correct, which will cause the following errors when
accessing the non-DIF disk:

On the contrary, when a non-DIF disk is connected and formatted as a DIF
disk, it is found that DIX is not enabled. Operation logs as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# lsscsi -p
[7:0:2:0] disk xxx /dev/sdc - none
[root@localhost ~]# sg_format --format --fmtpinfo=3 --pfu=1 /dev/sdc
[root@localhost ~]# lsscsi -p
[7:0:2:0] disk xxx /dev/sdc DIF/Type3 none
This is because dix config is only updated when the first time a disk
is added, in this patch, we fix the issue by with changes:
1. Remove check first_scan when call sd_config_protection().
2. Unregister block integrity profile after DIX becomes to 0.

DIX is orthogonal to DIF and a host property. DIX should not be disabled
just because the disk is no longer formatted with protection
information.
That said, your patch is probably fine. I'll take a closer look
tomorrow.

As the host protection capabilities are 0x77 and not support DIX between
OS and HBA only.
If write command is delivered to a non-DIF disk with DIX format this
time, I/Os will be failed.
DIX status should be updated when the disk DIF type changes.

Friendly ping... Do you have other suggestions?
Thanks,
