[PATCH v2] scsi: sg: fix SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers

From: Johannes Thumshirn
Date: Fri Jul 07 2017 - 04:57:11 EST


SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers do not necessarily have a dxferp as we set
it to NULL for the old sg_io read/write interface, but must have a length
bigger than 0. This fixes a regression introduced by commit 28676d869bbb
("scsi: sg: check for valid direction before starting the request")
