[SCSI] sg and st unmap_user_pages allow PageReserved

Browse source 
2.6.15-rc1 made sg's st_unmap_user_pages and st's sgl_unmap_user_pages
BUG on a PageReserved page.  But that's wrong: they could be unmapping
the ZERO_PAGE, which is marked PG_reserved; and perhaps others (while
get_user_pages is still permitted on VM_PFNMAP areas - that may change).

More change is needed here: sg claims to dirty even pages written from,
and st claims not to dirty even pages read into; and SetPageDirty is not
adequate for this nowadays.  Fixes to those follow in a later patch: for
the moment just fix the 2.6.15 regression.
