Subject: [34-longterm 161/196] mpt2sas: fix the incorrect scsi_dma_map error checking

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@....ntt.co.jp>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit bb789d01620e5d36081b22edb6fb71cf55ff043c upstream.

scsi_dma_map() returns -1 if an error occurred (zero means that the
command has no data). So the following current code can't catch an
error:

sges_left = scsi_dma_map(scmd);
if (!sges_left) {
	sdev_printk(KERN_ERR, scmd->device, "pci_map_sg"
	" failed: request for %d bytes!\n", scsi_bufflen(scmd));
	return -ENOMEM;
}
