[ Upstream commit 18f1becb6948cd411fd01968a0a54af63732e73c ]

Move code to parse lun from req's lun_buf to helper, so tmf code
can use it in the next patch.

This doesn't seem like stable material, does it?

It went in as a dependency for efd838fec17b ("vhost scsi: Add support
for LUN resets."), which is the next patch.

Which doesn't seem to be suitable for stable either... Patch 3/5 in

Why not? It was sent as a fix to Linus.

the series might be (vhost scsi: fix cmd completion race), so I can understand including 1/5 and 2/5 just in case, but not the rest. Does the bot not understand diffstats?

Not on their own, no. What's wrong with the diffstats?
