-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch (as1038) fixes a bug in usb_stor_access_xfer_buf() and
usb_stor_set_xfer_buf() (the bug was originally found by Boaz
Harrosh): The routine must not attempt to write beyond the end of a
scatter-gather list or beyond the number of bytes requested.

This is the minimal 2.6.24 equivalent to as1035 +
as1037 (7084191d53b224b953c8e1db525ea6c31aca5fc7 "USB:
usb-storage: don't access beyond the end of the sg buffer" +
6d512a80c26d87f8599057c86dc920fbfe0aa3aa "usb-storage: update earlier
scatter-gather bug fix"). Mark Glines has confirmed that it fixes
his problem.
