Subject: [PATCH 3.18 084/183] scsi: fix random memory corruption with scsi-mq + T10 PI

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tony Battersby <tonyb@...ernetics.com>

commit 120bb3e1e36da9c1ae6b978c825a28b944a5d7c5 upstream.

This fixes random memory corruption triggered when all three of the
following are true:

* scsi-mq enabled
* T10 Protection Information (DIF) enabled
* SCSI host with sg_tablesize > SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS (128)

The symptoms of this bug are unpredictable memory corruption, BUG()s,
oopses, lockups, etc., any of which may appear to be completely
unrelated to the root cause.
