In scsi_mq_setup_tags(), cmd_size is calculated based on zero size for the scatter-gather list in case the low level driver uses SG_NONE in its host template. cmd_size is passed on to the block layer for calculation of the request size, and we've seen NULL pointer dereference errors from the block layer in drivers where SG_NONE is used and a mq IO scheduler is active, apparently as a consequence of this (see commit 68ab2d76e4be for the cxflash driver, and a recent patch by Finn Thain converting the three m68k NFR5380 drivers to avoid setting SG_NONE). Try to avoid these errors by accounting for at least one sg list entry when caculating cmd_size, regardless of whether the low level driver set a zero sg_tablesize. Tested on 030 m68k with the atari_scsi driver - setting sg_tablesize to SG_NONE no longer results in a crash when loading this driver.
