[1274934.746891] Kernel panic - not syncing: Bad Address (null pointer deref?)

The bug is caused by overrunning the sglist and incorrectly testing
sg_dma_len(sglist) before nents. Normally this doesn't cause a crash,
but in this case sglist crossed a page boundary. This occurs in the
following code:

	while (sg_dma_len(sglist) && nents--) {

The fix is simply to test nents first and move the decrement of nents
into the loop.
