The SPC-6 specification says that the PREEMPT service action ignores the
TYPE field when there is no reservation. However, the LIO Linux iSCSI
target rejects commands with a zero TYPE field. The field never ends up
being used in this case, so replace it with a "valid" value to work
around the issue.
