So here we go, dxfer_direction is SG_DXFER_TO_DEV, dxfer_len is 0 and dxferp
is NULL. We bail out because dxferp is NULL here.

I only looked at sg_write() and not sg_new_write() which is called by the
SG_IO path not the fops->write() path.

It's probably best to just check for dxfer_len <= 2^28 to be valid as Doug
suggested:
