  A elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Upstream kernel scsi driver.

I've manually tested these patches using the Android reproducer[1] and
sg_dd from sg3-utils inside of a VM with a SCSI drive attached.

Note, this is a corrected patch set from when I used the wrong CVE ID[2] when
referring to this patch set. I've adjusted the CVE ID used in the commit
messages and tested with the correct reproducer for CVE-2017-0794.
