This patch adds support to target_submit_cmd_map_sgls() for
accepting 'sgl_prot' + 'sgl_prot_count' parameters for
DIF protection information.

Note the passed parameters are stored at se_cmd->t_prot_sg
and se_cmd->t_prot_nents respectively.

Also, update tcm_loop and vhost-scsi fabrics usage of
target_submit_cmd_map_sgls() to take into account the
new parameters.
I didn't see that you added protection allocation to transports that
does not use
target_submit_cmd_map_sgls() - which happens to be iSCSI/iSER/SRP :(

Don't you think that prot SG allocation should be added also to
target_alloc_sgl()? by then
se_cmd should contain the protection attributes and this routine can
know if it needs to
allocate prot_sg as well. This is how I used it...
Yes, this specific bit was left out for the moment as no code in the
patch for v3.14 actually uses it..

I'm planning to add it to for-next -> v3.15 code as soon as the merge
window closes.

Yes, that makes sense to me.
