This looks completely broken. Why would you DMA map the in-memory
struct scatterlist? It has no meaning for the hardware.

In fact this whole branch (and the equivalent in the unmap path)
are dead - SCSI commands that transfer data always have a SG entry.

So the right fix is to remove the !scsi_sg_count(scmd) map/unmap
path.
