Matt Wang e662502b3a scsi: vmw_pvscsi: Set correct residual data length
Some commands (such as INQUIRY) may return less data than the initiator
requested. To avoid conducting useless information, set the right residual
count to make upper layer aware of this.

Before (INQUIRY PAGE 0xB0 with 128B buffer):

$ sg_raw -r 128 /dev/sda 12 01 B0 00 80 00
SCSI Status: Good

Received 128 bytes of data:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
