In sg_write(), the opcode of the command is fetched the first time from the userspace by __get_user(). Then the whole command, the opcode included, is fetched again from userspace by __copy_from_user(). However, a malicious user can change the opcode between the two fetches. This can cause inconsistent data and potential errors as cmnd is used in the following codes. Thus we should check opcode between the two fetches to prevent this.
