[SCSI] Prevent scsi_execute_async from guessing cdb length
When the scsi_execute_async interface was added it ended up reducing
the flexibility of userspace to send arbitrary scsi commands through
sg using SG_IO. The SG_IO interface allows userspace to specify the
CDB length. This is now ignored in scsi_execute_async and it is
guessed using the COMMAND_SIZE macro, which is not always correct,
particularly for vendor specific commands. This patch adds a cmd_len
parameter to the scsi_execute_async interface to allow the caller
to specify the length of the CDB.
