sg_dma_len() is only valid after mapping the scatterlist with
dma_map_sg(). However, sl3516_ce_need_fallback() checks it before the
source and destination scatterlists are mapped. Thus, a stale DMA length
that is not a multiple of 16 could incorrectly force a software fallback
when CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH=y.
Remove the invalid checks; the existing scatterlist length checks are
sufficient.
Fixes: 46c5338db7bd ("crypto: sl3516 - Add sl3516 crypto engine")

Looks right to me.
