ATAPI devices transfer fixed number of bytes for CDBs (12 or 16).
Some ATAPI devices choke when shorter CDB is used and the left bytes
contain garbage.  Block SG_IO cleared left bytes but SCSI SG_IO
didn't.  This patch makes SCSI SG_IO clear it and simplify CDB
clearing in block SG_IO.

s/req/rq/ makes the compiler happier there.

Yeap, apparently. Sorry. Last minute copy and paste w/ comment. Arggh... No change is ever safe.
