[PATCH] storvsc: do not assume SG list is continuous when doing bounce buffers (for 4.1 stable only)

From: Long Li <longli at microsoft.com>

This patch is for linux-stable 4.1 branch only.

storvsc checks the SG list for gaps before passing them to Hyper-v device.
If there are gaps, data is copied to a bounce buffer and a continuous data
buffer is passed to Hyper-V.

The check on gaps assumes SG list is continuous, and not chained. This is
 not always true. Failing the check may result in incorrect I/O data
passed to the Hyper-v device.

This code path is not used post Linux 4.1.
