vhost-scsi: Validate T10 PI scatterlist counts
When T10 PI is negotiated, vhost-scsi splits protection bytes from
the data iterator before mapping the request scatterlists. A malformed
request can claim protection bytes that cover or exceed the full payload
length. The former leaves no data bytes to map, while the latter
underflows exp_data_len before advancing the iterator. Both cases can let
a zero data SGL count reach sg_alloc_table_chained(), which triggers
BUG_ON(!nents).
Reject protection lengths that cover or exceed the payload before
subtracting prot_bytes and advancing the iterator. Also propagate
negative errors from the protection SGL calculation before calling the
allocator, matching the data SGL path.
