They are _needed_, despite the name these ioctls are _not_ limited
to SCSI subsystem.

parentheses are unnecessary

__user tag was dropped from 'arg'
(I bet that this would make sparse checking unhappy)

wouldn't be needed if the 'arg' was of 'int __user' type and the casting was
done in the caller function

'goto out' is unnecessary

this whole chunk needs to be reverted

Please recast/resubmit.
