Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: return correct blkprep status code in case scsi_init_io() fails.

When instrumenting the SCSI layer to run into the
!blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(rq) case the following  warning emitted from the
block layer:

blk_peek_request: bad return=-22

This happens because since commit fd3fc0b4d730 ('scsi: don't BUG_ON()
empty DMA transfers') we return the wrong error value from scsi_prep_fn()
back to the block layer.
