Hello.

In commit c3a4d78c580de4edc9ef0f7c59812fb02ceb037f, while introducing
rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
full count to zero. The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined. However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.

This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on issue and restoring explicit clearing in
affected drivers. While at it, take advantage of the fact that
rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable.

* ide-cd: rq->resid_len cleared on pc success

* mptsas: req->resid_len cleared on success

* sas_expander: rsp/req->resid_len cleared on success

* mpt2sas_transport: req->resid_len cleared on success

* ide-cd, ide-tape, mptsas, sas_host_smp, mpt2sas_transport, ub: take
advantage of initial full count to simplify code

The patch looks er... strange at some places.

Is negative resid_len intended here? If so, shouldn't it be simply:

rsp->resid_len = -smprep->ResponseDataLength;
