The patch looks good. However, I think we should just get rid of the
BUG_ON() there. If nents is 0, setup_sgl_buf() would just returns 0 and
nothing critical will happen.

Also consider that in __kfifo_dma_in_prepare(), the equivalent of
__kfifo_dma_in_prepare_r() when recsize is 0, we don't check nents at
all.
