So sg_phys() turns out to be 'page_to_phys(sg_page(s)) + s->offset',
which makes the above statement to:

	page_to_phys(sg_page(s)) + s->offset - s->offset;

The compiler will probably optimize that away, but it still doesn't look
like an improvement.

Here the replacement makes sense, but weird indendation. Could all be
moved to one line, I guess.

Here it doesn't make sense too. In general, please remove the cases
where you have to subtract sg->offset after the conversion.
