scsi-disk: fix the block descriptor returned by the MODE SENSE command

The block descriptor contains the number of blocks, not the highest LBA.
Real hard disks return 0 if the number of blocks exceed the maximum 0xFFFFFF.

SCSI-Spec:
http://ldkelley.com/SCSI2/SCSI2/SCSI2-08.html#8.3.3
"The number of blocks field specifies the number of logical blocks on the
medium to which the density code and block length fields apply. A value
of zero indicates that all of the remaining logical blocks of the logical
unit shall have the medium characteristics specified."
