Subject: [PATCH] scsi: debug: fix type mismatch warning for sg_pcopy_from_buffer

The recent change to mark the input argument of sg_pcopy_from_buffer
had the unfortunate side-effect to cause a new warning in the
scsi_debug code:

drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c: In function 'do_device_access':
drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c:2376:8: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
   func = sg_pcopy_from_buffer;

This patch attempts to avoid that warning without adding
evil type casts, but unfortunately makes the do_device_access
function a lot uglier in the process.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Fixes: 5250326459 ("lib/scatterlist: mark input buffer parameters as 'const'")
---

I can't decide if this is actually a good idea, or if we should rather drop
the sg_pcopy_from_buffer() patch. Maybe someone else sees a better solution.
