[stgt] [PATCH] Fix ModeSense. ModeSense never returns residuals. Additionally fix the two arguments that were swapped in set_byte_safe.

Oops, you are right! My fault, i swapped the arguments when calling
the function.

I guess we shouldn't remove these calls as the following reasoning:
 > 2, These commands never return residual under/overflow so dont set
the residuals for them
 does not exactly apply here.

Truncation of Data-IN buffer to ALLOC_LENGTH is not reflected in residual count,
but if ALLOC_LENGTH is less than EDTL, it should produce a non-zero
residual count.
That is one of the purposes of scsi_set_in_resid_by_actual().
Also, please refer to the commit log of d7af3dc1 which explains this logic.
Is spc_mode_sense() really a special case which requires a different treatment?
