Subject: IB/core: Avoid unsigned int overflow in sg_alloc_table

From: Mark Bloch <markb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3c7ba5760ab8eedec01159b267bb9bfcffe522ac upstream.

sg_alloc_table gets unsigned int as parameter while the driver
returns it as size_t. Check npages isn't greater than maximum
unsigned int.
