Revert "[SCSI] extend the last_sector_bug flag to cover more sectors"
This reverts commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8, since it seems to break some other USB storage devices (at least a JMicron USB to ATA bridge). As such, while it apparently fixes some cardreaders, it would need to be made conditional on the exact reader it fixes in order to avoid causing regressions.
