    Pull SCSI scatter-gather list updates from James Bottomley:
     "This topic branch covers a fundamental change in how our sg lists are
      allocated to make mq more efficient by reducing the size of the
      preallocated sg list.
    
      This necessitates a large number of driver changes because the
      previous guarantee that if a driver specified SG_ALL as the size of
      its scatter list, it would get a non-chained list and didn't need to
      bother with scatterlist iterators is now broken and every driver
      *must* use scatterlist iterators.
    
      This was broken out as a separate topic because we need to convert all
      the drivers before pulling the trigger and unconverted drivers kept
      being found, necessitating a rebase"
