Subject: storvsc: Set the SRB flags correctly when no data transfer is needed
From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dc45708ca9988656d706940df5fd102672c5de92 upstream.
Set the SRB flags correctly when there is no data transfer. Without this
change some IHV drivers will fail valid commands such as TEST_UNIT_READY.
