vhost-scsi: reject feature changes after endpoint

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.
