With the older SG interface, we don't know a user-space address to trasfer data when executing a SCSI command. So we can't pass a user-space address to blk_rq_map_user. This patch fixes sg to pass a NULL user-space address to blk_rq_map_user so that it just sets up a request and bios with page frames propely without data transfer.
