[SCSI] tgt: rm bio hacks in scsi tgt



scsi tgt breaks up a command into multple scatterlists
if we cannot fit all the data in one. This was because
the block rq helpers did not support large requests and
because we can get a command of any old size so it is
hard to preallocate pages for scatterlist large enough
(we cannot really preallocate pages with the bio map
user path). In 2.6.20, we added large request support to
the block layer helper, blk_rq_map_user. And at LSF,
we talked about increasing SCSI_MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS for
scsi tgt if we want to support really really :) large
(greater than 256 * PAGE_SIZE in the worst mapping case)
requests.

The only target currently implemented does not even support
the multiple scatterlists stuff and only supports smaller
requests, so this patch just coverts scsi tgt to use
blk_rq_map_user.
