This has the nice side effect to remove the compiler warning
"dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"
which occur since gcc-4.7.
There are 79 locations where the warning occurs. All of them are in
statements where the htonl/htons/ntohl/ntohs functions are used, e.g.:
in lib/pdu.c itt = ntohl(*(uint32_t *)&in->hdr[16]);
in lib/scsi-lowlevel.c *(uint32_t *)&task->cdb[2] = htonl(lba);
The warning is not related to the htonl/htons/ntohl/ntohs functions but
to the casting/dereferencing operation. If the dereferenced variable is
already a pointer, the warning does not not occur, e.g. this one:
in lib/pdu.c itt = ntohl(*(uint32_t *)&in->data[16]);
The warning is caused by the -fstrict-aliasing option. The
-fstrict-aliasing option is enabled at optimization levels -O2, -O3, -Os.

As long as we have no struct iscsi_task we cannot track the
free() of data.indata buffer. This leads to a leaked memory
report in iscsi_context_destroy().
We fix this by assuming it has been freed when we pass it
it to scsi_task.

added a few tweaks to further remove the need to memory
allocation resizing by preallocating the right buffer size.

If BYTCHK is false the target will perform a medium check of the indicated
LBAs only and not compare with anything out of the DATA-OUT buffers.
As such we dont need to/should not transfer any DAT-OUT to the target.
