sg_write()/bsg_write() is not fit to be called under KERNEL_DS
[ Upstream commit 128394eff343fc6d2f32172f03e24829539c5835 ]
Both damn things interpret userland pointers embedded into the payload;
worse, they are actually traversing those. Leaving aside the bad
API design, this is very much _not_ safe to call with KERNEL_DS.
Bail out early if that happens.
