virtio-scsi: work around bug in old BIOSes

Old BIOSes left some padding by mistake after the req_size/resp_size.
New QEMU does not like it, thinking it is a bidirectional command.

As a workaround, we can check if the ANY_LAYOUT bit is set; if not, we
always consider the first buffer as the virtio-scsi request/response,
because, back when QEMU did not support ANY_LAYOUT, it expected the
payload to start at the second element of the iovec.

This can show up during migration.
