SCSI: sg: Free data buffers after calling blk_rq_unmap_user
commit e27168f8c337b12b8aa8d59c3123c79d2f83603d upstream. Running sg_luns on s390x with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled fails with EFAULT from the SG_IO ioctl. The EFAULT is the result from copy_to_user failing in this call chain: sg_ioctl sg_new_read sg_finish_rem_req blk_rq_unmap_user __blk_rq_unmap_user bio_uncopy_user __bio_copy_iov copy_to_user The sg driver calls sg_remove_scat to free the memory pages before calling blk_rq_unmap_user that tries to copy the data back to userspace. Change the order to first call blk_rq_unmap_user before freeing the pages in sg_remove_scat.
