Subject: [PATCH 3.16 17/26] uas: Only complain about missing sg if all other checks succeed

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>

commit cc4deafc86f75f4e716b37fb4ea3572eb1e49e50 upstream.

Don't complain about controllers without sg support if there are other
reasons why uas cannot be used anyways.
