Eeek.  Accessing it using the bio in both haves seems a lot cleaner than
abusing this.  Especially as we don't really need a mapped page anyway
at least for WRITE SAME implementation.

In addition I don't think this is quite correct.  You still need to undo
the payload addition manually if scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd fails, as we
haven't marked the request as REQ_DONTPREP at that point - it's only
done by scsi_prep_return for the BLKPREP_OK case.
