gdth: fix oops in gdth_copy_cmd()
Recent alterations to the gdth_fill_raw_cmd() path no longer set the sg_ranz field for zero transfer commands. However, this field is used lower down in the function to initialise ha->cmd_len to the size of the firmware packet. If this uninitialised field contains a bogus value, ha->cmd_len can become much larger than the actual firmware packet and end up oopsing in gdth_copy_cmd() as it tries to copy this huge packet to the device (usually because it runs into an unallocated page). The fix is to initialise the sg_ranz field to zero at the start of gdth_fill_raw_cmd().
