The break makes && ret == firstret redundant above.  I suggest just
while (nb_sectors > 0) { ... } which is easier to read.

Also, if you respin the patch please tweak the commit message.
"Coalesce 'map' output" is more specific than "Fix 'map' output" -
unless this really fixes a bug which you didn't mention in the commit
description.
