virtio_blk: avoid DMA to stack for the sense buffer commit a14d749fcebe97ddf6af6db3d1f6ece85c9ddcb9 upstream. Most users of BLOCK_PC requests allocate the sense buffer on the stack, so to avoid DMA to the stack copy them to a field in the heap allocated virtblk_req structure. Without that any attempt at SCSI passthrough I/O, including the SG_IO ioctl from userspace will crash the kernel. Note that this includes running tools like hdparm even when the host does not have SCSI passthrough enabled.
