lib/scatterlist: fix temp buffer in extract_user_to_sg()
commit 118cf3f upstream.
Instead of allocating a temporary buffer for extracted user pages
extract_user_to_sg() uses the end of the to be filled scatterlist as a
temporary buffer.
Fix the calculation of the start address if the scatterlist already
contains elements. The unused space starts at sgtable->sgl +
sgtable->nents not directly at sgtable->nents and the temporary buffer is
placed at the end of this unused space.
A subsequent commit will add kunit test cases that demonstrate that the
patch is necessary.
