If a board doesn't setup pdata->nr_sg it will be zero, leaving
host->nr_sg = -1.

Since host->nr_sg is unsigned, you get lucky and fix it up here, but
for readability, this not too clean and should be more thorough.

Wrapping the above in 'if (pdata->nr_sg)' is a more standard way
of handling optional platform_data paramaters.
