ipr crashes due to NULL dma_need_drain since cc97923a5bcc ("block: move dma drain handling to scsi")

Hi all,

I'm seeing crashes on powerpc with the ipr driver, which I'm fairly sure
are due to dma_need_drain being NULL.

The backtrace is:

  scsi_init_io+0x1d8/0x350
  scsi_queue_rq+0x7a4/0xc30
  blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list+0x1b0/0x910

  init_sr+0x4c/0x80

  kernel_init_freeable+0x2e0/0x3a0
  kernel_init+0x2c/0x148
  ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x74

And looking at the disassembly I think it's coming from:

static inline bool scsi_cmd_needs_dma_drain(struct scsi_device *sdev,
		struct request *rq)
{
	return sdev->dma_drain_len && blk_rq_is_passthrough(rq) &&
	       !op_is_write(req_op(rq)) &&
	       sdev->host->hostt->dma_need_drain(rq);
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}

Bisect agrees:

# first bad commit: [cc97923a5bccc776851c242b61015faf288d5c22] block: move dma drain handling to scsi


And looking at ipr.c, it constructs its scsi_host_template manually,
without using any of the macros that end up calling __ATA_BASE_SHT,
which populates dma_need_drain.

The obvious fix below works, the system boots and seems to be operating
normally, but I don't know enough (anything) about SCSI to say if it's
actually the correct fix.

cheers
