OPTION_NOASYNC in drivers/scsi/53c7,8xx.c should be OTION_NO_ASYNC

Hallo,

the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/53c7,8xx.c tells to define
OPTION_NOASYNC to circumvent problems with some devices.
But OPTION_NOASYNC isn't defined anywhere. OPTION_NO_ASYNC is, so this
should be changed.

B.t.w., that didn't solve my problem with my tape, which gets defined
synchronous even as it can't support that mode.

With scsiinfo it gives the right information.

Doesn't the negotiation when OPTION_ALWAYS_SYNCHRONOUS is given look at that
info?
