This patch landed in linux-next 20210630 as commit a52724456928 
("lib/scatterlist: Fix wrong update of orig_nents"). It causes serious 
regression in DMA-IOMMU integration, which can be observed for example 
on ARM Juno board during boot:

It looks that some changes to the scatterlist structures are missing 
outside of the lib/scatterlist.c.

For now I would suggest to revert this change.
