Lee Schermerhorn a683d652d3 Panic in blk_rq_map_sg() from CCISS driver 
New scatter/gather list chaining [sg_next()] treats 'page' member of
struct scatterlist with low bit set [0x01] as a chain pointer to
another struct scatterlist [array].  The CCISS driver request function
passes an uninitialized, temporary, on-stack scatterlist array to
blk_rq_map_sq().  sg_next() interprets random data on the stack as a
chain pointer and eventually tries to de-reference an invalid pointer,
resulting in:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

This patch initializes the tmp_sg array to zeroes.  Perhaps not the ultimate
fix, but an effective work-around.  I can now boot 23-rc6-mm1 on an HP
Proliant x86_64 with CCISS boot disk.
