[SCSI] erase invalid data returned by device
This patch (as1108) fixes a problem that can occur with certain USB mass-storage devices: They return invalid data together with a residue indicating that the data should be ignored. Rather than leave the invalid data in a transfer buffer, where it can get misinterpreted, the patch clears the invalid portion of the buffer. This solves a problem (wrong write-protect setting detected) reported by Maciej Rutecki and Peter Teoh.
