A sgl has two lists inside it a 'dma' list and a 'page' list, they are
not the same length and not interchangable.

If you use for_each_sgtable_dma_sg() then you iterate over the 'dma'
list and have to use 'dma' accessors

If you use for_each_sgtable_sg() then you iterate over the 'page' list
and have to use 'page' acessors

Mixing dma iteration with page accessors or vice-versa, like above, is
always a bug.

You can see it alos because the old code used umem->sg_nents which is
the CPU list length while this new code is using the dma list length.
