Fixing up this comment based upon MKP's earlier response.

Will take care of this in a separate patch..

Done.

Fixing this up now.

Well at least for the latter that is because UNMAP=0 does not have a
payload.  ;)

Adding a check to ensure that we have one SGL, and that SGL length
matches sector_size for UNMAP=0 logic.
