Actually, the main issue is iscsi_cmd->data_length being different from
se_cmd->data_length after the residual adjustment from target-core in
transport_generic_alloc_tasks() -> transport_generic_cmd_sequencer().

So converting iscsi-target to use iscsi_cmd->se_cmd.data_length instead
of iscsi_cmd->data_length would probably make the most sense here..
