scsi: don't use fc_bsg_job::request and fc_bsg_job::reply directly
Don't use fc_bsg_job::request and fc_bsg_job::reply directly, but use
helper variables bsg_request and bsg_reply. This will be helpfull when
transitioning to bsg-lib.

From there (on the reverse bisect path) I get the following Oops,

Compiler optimization re-ordered above two lines and the first pointer
derefence is bsg_reply->result [field offset 0] where bsg_reply is NULL.
The assignment tries to write to memory at address NULL causing the
kernel page fault.
Does your suggested change for [PATCH v3 02/16], shuffling the
job->request_len checks, address above kernel page fault?
job->reply_len = sizeof(uint32_t);
fc_bsg_jobdone(job);
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
Ahm and what exactly can break here? It's just assigning variables. Now
I'm puzzled too.
