3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter at oracle.com>

commit 59c816c1f24df0204e01851431d3bab3eb76719c upstream.

This code in vhost_scsi_make_tpg() is confusing because we limit "tpgt"
to UINT_MAX but the data type of "tpg->tport_tpgt" and that is a u16.

I looked at the context and it turns out that in
vhost_scsi_set_endpoint(), "tpg->tport_tpgt" is used as an offset into
the vs_tpg[] array which has VHOST_SCSI_MAX_TARGET (256) elements so
anything higher than 255 then it is invalid.  I have made that the limit
now.

In vhost_scsi_send_evt() we mask away values higher than 255, but now
that the limit has changed, we don't need the mask.

[ luis: backported to 3.16: functions rename:
  - tcm_vhost_send_evt -> vhost_scsi_send_evt
  - tcm_vhost_make_tpg -> vhost_scsi_make_tpg ]
