Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Fix scatterlist unmapping

dma_unmap_sg() should be called with the same number of entries
originally passed to dma_map_sg(), not the number it returned, which may
be fewer. Admittedly this driver probably never runs on non-coherent
architectures where getting that wrong could lead to data loss, but it's
always good to be correct, and it's trivially easy to fix by just
restoring the SG table state before the call instead of afterwards.
