When '*sgt' is allocated, we must allocated 'sizeof(**sgt)' bytes instead

The sizeof(*sg) is bigger than sizeof(**sgt) so this wastes memory but
it won't lead to corruption.

My bad. I read 'struct scatterlist sgl' (without the *)
Thanks for the follow-up, Dan.
Doesn't smatch catch such mismatch?
(I've not run smatch for a while, so it is maybe reported)
Well, the proposal is still valid, even if it has less impact as
initially thought.
Thx for the review.
