commit bc67f63650fad6b3478d9ddfd5406d45a95987c9 upstream.

The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command
used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold
at most 255 scatter gather elements.  It should have been cast to
a u16.  Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller
since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right
value resulting in an i/o error.
