[PATCH] scsi: virtio-scsi: Fix address translation failure of HighMem pages used by sg list

[Wang Sen]

When using the commands below to write some data to a virtio-scsi LUN of the 
QEMU guest(32-bit) with 1G physical memory(qemu -m 1024), the qemu will crash.

	# sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb  (/dev/sdb is the virtio-scsi LUN.)
	# sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt
	# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1024

In current implementation, sg_set_buf is called to add buffers to sg list which
is put into the virtqueue eventually. But there are some HighMem pages in 
table->sgl can not get virtual address by sg_virt. So, sg_virt(sg_elem) may
return NULL value. This will cause QEMU exit when virtqueue_map_sg is called 
in QEMU because an invalid GPA is passed by virtqueue.

My solution is using sg_set_page instead of sg_set_buf.

I have tested the patch on my workstation. QEMU would not crash any more.
