Subject: [GIT PULL] SCSI fixes for 4.11-rc8

Our final fix before the 4.12 release (hopefully).  It's an error leg
again: the fix to not bug on empty DMA transfers is returning the wrong
code and confusing the block layer. 

The patch is available here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git scsi-fixes

The short changelog is:

Johannes Thumshirn (1):
      scsi: return correct blkprep status code in case scsi_init_io() fails.
