The way to handle dma_map_sg and dma_unmap_sg looks wrong.

ents could be smaller than nents here with IOMMU implementations that
merge several sg entries into one.

Here the nents is the same one you passed into dma_map_sg call. It is
not the value returned from dma_map_sg (see DMA-mapping.txt).

So we call check_unmap for entries that we didn't call add_dma_entry
for on dma_map_sg. These entries are not initialized so we could get any
kinds of warnings from check_unmap.
