vhost_scsi_handle_vq() moves pi_bytesout or pi_bytesin into the
protection sgl and subtracts those bytes from exp_data_len.  The length
passed to TCM is still exp_data_len + prot_bytes.

prot_bytes comes from virtio_scsi_cmd_req_pi.  With
VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI negotiated, vhost reads that header and does not
check that the CDB is a READ or WRITE.  sbc_check_prot() replaces
data_length from the CDB only when the protect field is non-zero.
target_cmd_size_check() leaves a write's data_length unchanged when the
CDB size is smaller, so a command that does not get that replacement
keeps a data_length larger than the data sgl.

The KASAN report is a MODE SELECT whose header had pi_bytesout set.
The data sgl held only the parameter list.  spc_emulate_modeselect()
walked data_length and read the next physical page.

Pass the data sgl length.  Protected READ and WRITE still take their
length from the CDB in sbc_check_prot().

KASAN reports:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in spc_emulate_modeselect+0x145/0x380 [target_core_mod]

v3:
  - Rewrite the inline comment to distinguish the data and protection
    SGLs and explain why TCM receives only the data SGL length.
  - Note the related target-core patches for PI tuple accesses at
    protection-SGL boundaries:

v2:
  - Drop the claim that target used to subtract prot_length.
    9f977ef7b671 cites 14ef9200, which is not in the tree
  - prot_bytes comes from virtio_scsi_cmd_req_pi
