vhost_scsi_setup_vq_cmds() runs from VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and allocates
each command's protection scatterlist array (prot_sgl) according to the
acknowledged VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI bit. The command pools are not rebuilt
when VHOST_SET_FEATURES changes that bit later.
Although virtio feature bits must not change after feature negotiation,
vhost_scsi_set_features() currently accepts such a request after the
endpoint is active and updates acked_features. Enabling T10-PI after
endpoint setup therefore leaves prot_sgl NULL while the I/O path follows
the new feature bit.
For a 129-page protection payload, vhost_scsi_mapal() passes the missing
first chunk to sg_alloc_table_chained():
sg_alloc_table_chained(table, 129, first_chunk=NULL,
nents_first_chunk=inline_sg_cnt)
sg_pool_index() then hits:
BUG_ON(nents > SG_CHUNK_SIZE); /* 129 > 128 */
The kernel reported the following call trace and register state:

VHOST_F_LOG_ALL is a vhost-specific runtime feature and remains the only
exception.
Reject changes to any feature other than VHOST_F_LOG_ALL while the
endpoint is active. This preserves the existing runtime log toggle while
preventing feature-dependent command resources and data-path state from
becoming inconsistent. Userspace must clear the endpoint before changing
any other negotiated feature and set the endpoint up again afterward.

Changes in v2:
- Reject changes to every feature except VHOST_F_LOG_ALL after endpoint
setup, following review feedback.
- Keep the existing runtime VHOST_F_LOG_ALL cleanup path.
