You forgot to do something like this too:


diff --git a/drivers/scsi/st.c b/drivers/scsi/st.c
index c7d2c1c5a299..9d04929f03a1 100644
--- a/drivers/scsi/st.c
+++ b/drivers/scsi/st.c
@@ -3827,7 +3827,7 @@ static long st_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd_in, unsigned long arg)
 		break;
 	}
 
-	retval = scsi_ioctl(STp->device, STp->disk, file->f_mode, cmd_in, p);
+	retval = scsi_ioctl(STp->device, NULL, file->f_mode, cmd_in, p);
 	if (!retval && cmd_in == SCSI_IOCTL_STOP_UNIT) {
 		/* unload */
 		STp->rew_at_close = 0;

Other than that:
