blk_rq_set_block_pc() memsets rq->cmd to 0, so it should come
immediately after blk_get_request() to avoid overwriting the

For inclusion in 3.17 and 3.16.x.

Note: I don't have any programs that use this ioctl, so this patch is
compile-tested only.

To test this ioctl one option is to get the sg3_utils
package and build scsi_ioctl.c in the examples
directory with 'make scsi_ioctl'.

In lk 3.17-rc1, scsi_ioctl indicates that
SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND is not working. In my test applying
this patch fixes the regression.
