storvsc: do not assume SG list is continuous when doing bounce buffers
The original patch was made for stable 4.1 and was Acked on 08/22/2017, but for
some reason it never made it to the stable tree.
Change from v1:
Changed comment that this patch is for linux-stable 4.1 and all prior stable
kernels.
storvsc checks the SG list for gaps before passing them to Hyper-v device.
If there are gaps, data is copied to a bounce buffer and a continuous data
buffer is passed to Hyper-V.
The check on gaps assumes SG list is continuous, and not chained. This is
not always true. Failing the check may result in incorrect I/O data
passed to the Hyper-v device.
This code path is not used post Linux 4.1.
