[PATCH RFC 3/4] convert scsi-ioctl to use blk_rq_map_kern

[Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

convert old sg_scsi_ioctl to use blk_rq_map_kern when there is data so
all SG IO paths use bio backed requests. This simplifies scsi and
is a step twords scatter gather io always being used (just need
to convert the "special" request path.

This patch was made against 2.6.12-rc5, and works with scsi-misc.
