Subject: [PATCH 4.9 14/18] lib/mpi: kunmap after finishing accessing buffer

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

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

From: Stephan Mueller <smueller@...onox.de>

commit dea3eb8b452e36cf2dd572b0a797915ccf452ae6 upstream.

Using sg_miter_start and sg_miter_next, the buffer of an SG is kmap'ed
to *buff. The current code calls sg_miter_stop (and thus kunmap) on the
SG entry before the last access of *buff.

The patch moves the sg_miter_stop call after the last access to *buff to
ensure that the memory pointed to by *buff is still mapped.

Fixes: 4816c9406430 ("lib/mpi: Fix SG miter leak")
