st: Fix MTMKPART to work with newer drives
Change the MTMKPART operation of the MTIOCTOP ioctl so that it works also with current drives (LTO-5/6, etc.). Send a separate FORMAT MEDIUM command if the partition mode page indicates that this is required. Use LOAD to position the tape at the beginning of tape. The operation is extended so that if the argument is negative, its absolute value specifies the size of partition 0, which is the physically first partition of the tape.
