[PATCH RESEND v2 09/14] lib/mpi: mpi_read_raw_from_sgl(): replace len argument by nbytes

From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Mon Mar 21 2016 - 09:27:09 EST


Currently, the nbytes local variable is calculated from the len argument
as follows:

... mpi_read_raw_from_sgl(..., unsigned int len)
{
unsigned nbytes;
...
if (!ents)
nbytes = 0;
else
nbytes = len - lzeros;
...
}

Given that nbytes is derived from len in a trivial way and that the len
argument is shadowed by a local len variable in several loops, this is just
confusing.

Rename the len argument to nbytes and get rid of the nbytes local variable.
Do the nbytes calculation in place.
