You didn't test this, did you? If you did, you'd have noticed the change
from printk to pr_info gives you an unwanted "6" in the message.

Also, what are you hoping to achieve? scsi_show_result() is only used by
sd in a very few special command situations. I can't believe the msg
byte would be anything other than zero and the status byte check
condition.
