Subject: vhost/scsi: fix reuse of &vq->iov[out] in response

From: Benjamin Coddington <[email protected]>

commit a77ec83a57890240c546df00ca5df1cdeedb1cc3 upstream.

The address of the iovec &vq->iov[out] is not guaranteed to contain the scsi command's response iovec throughout the lifetime of the command. Rather, it is more likely to contain an iovec from an immediately following command after looping back around to vhost_get_vq_desc(). Pass along the iovec entirely instead.
