Subject: [PATCH 4/4] scsi: hpsa: Move a variable assignment in
 hpsa_big_passthru_ioctl()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Move an assignment for the local variable "sg_used" so that its setting
will only be performed after corresponding memory allocations succeeded
by this function.
