[PATCH] scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE regression

From: Arnd Bergmann

Phil Oester reported that a fix for a possible buffer overrun that I
sent caused a regression that manifests in this output:

Event Message: A PCI parity error was detected on a component at bus 0 device 5 function 0.
Severity: Critical
Message ID: PCI1308

The original code tried to handle the sense data pointer differently
when using 32-bit 64-bit DMA addressing, which would lead to a 32-bit
dma_addr_t value of 0x11223344 to get stored

32-bit kernel: 44 33 22 11 ?? ?? ?? ??
64-bit LE kernel: 44 33 22 11 00 00 00 00
64-bit BE kernel: 00 00 00 00 44 33 22 11

or a 64-bit dma_addr_t value of 0x1122334455667788 to get stored as

32-bit kernel: 88 77 66 55 ?? ?? ?? ??
64-bit kernel: 88 77 66 55 44 33 22 11

In my patch, I tried to ensure that the same value is used on both
32-bit and 64-bit kernels, and picked what seemed to be the most sensible
combination, storing 32-bit addresses in the first four bytes (as 32-bit
kernels already did), and 64-bit addresses in eight consecutive bytes
(as 64-bit kernels already did), but evidently this was incorrect.

Always storing the dma_addr_t pointer as 64-bit little-endian,
i.e. initializing the second four bytes to zero in case of 32-bit
addressing, apparently solved the problem for Phil, and is consistent
with what all 64-bit little-endian machines did before.

I also checked in the history that in previous versions of the code,
the pointer was always in the first four bytes without padding, and that
previous attempts to fix 64-bit user space, big-endian architectures
and 64-bit DMA were clearly flawed and seem to have introduced made
this worse.
