The current BDC VPD page (page 0xb1) is too short. This can be
seen running sg_utils:

$ sg_vpd --page=bdc /dev/sda
Block device characteristics VPD page (SBC):
Block device characteristics VPD page length too short=8

By the SCSI spec, the expected size of the SBC page is 0x40.
There is no telling how the guest will behave with a shorter
message - it can ignore it, or worse, make (wrong)
assumptions.

This patch fixes the emulation by setting the size to 0x40.
This is the output of the previous sg_vpd command after
applying it:

$ sg_vpd --page=bdc /dev/sda -v
    inquiry cdb: 12 01 b1 00 fc 00
Block device characteristics VPD page (SBC):
   [PQual=0  Peripheral device type: disk]
  Medium rotation rate is not reported
  Product type: Not specified
  WABEREQ=0
  WACEREQ=0
  Nominal form factor not reported
  FUAB=0
  VBULS=0

To improve readability, this patch also adds the VBULS value
explictly and add comments on the existing fields we're
setting.
