scsi: zero per-cmd private driver data for each MQ I/O
In lower layer driver's (LLD) scsi_host_template, the driver may optionally ask SCSI to allocate its private driver memory for each command, by specifying cmd_size. This memory is allocated at the end of scsi_cmnd by SCSI. Later when SCSI queues a command, the LLD can use scsi_cmd_priv to get to its private data. Some LLD, e.g. hv_storvsc, doesn't clear its private data before use. In this case, the LLD may get to stale or uninitialized data in its private driver memory. This may result in unexpected driver and hardware behavior. Fix this problem by also zeroing the private driver memory before passing them to LLD.
