    usb-storage: don't access beyond the end of the sg buffer

    This patch (as1038) fixes a bug in usb_stor_access_xfer_buf() and
    usb_stor_set_xfer_buf() (the bug was originally found by Boaz
    Harrosh): The routine must not attempt to write beyond the end of a
    scatter-gather list or beyond the number of bytes requested.

    This is the minimal 2.6.24 equivalent to as1035 +
    as1037 (7084191d53b224b953c8e1db525ea6c31aca5fc7 "USB:
    usb-storage: don't access beyond the end of the sg buffer" +
    6d512a80c26d87f8599057c86dc920fbfe0aa3aa "usb-storage: update earlier
    scatter-gather bug fix"). Mark Glines has confirmed that it fixes
    his problem.
