SCSI: fix transfer direction in scsi_lib and st
scsi_prep_fn and st_init_command could issue WRITE requests with zero
buffer length. This may lead to kernel panic or oops with some SCSI
low-level drivers.
Derived from -rc patches from Jens Axboe and James Bottomley.
Patch is reassembled for -stable from patches:
[SCSI] fix panic when ejecting ieee1394 ipod
[SCSI] Consolidate REQ_BLOCK_PC handling path (fix ipod panic)
Depends on patch "SCSI: fix transfer direction in sd (kernel panic when
ejecting iPod)". Also modifies the already correct sr_init_command to
fully match the corresponding -rc patch.
