Function "dma_map_sg" is entitled to merge adjacent entries
and return a value smaller than what was passed as "nents".
Subsequently "ib_map_mr_sg" needs to work with this value ("sg_dma_len")
rather than the original "nents" parameter ("sg_len").
This old RDS bug was exposed and reliably causes kernel panics
(using RDMA operations "rds-stress -D") on x86_64 starting with:
commit c588072bba6b ("iommu/vt-d: Convert intel iommu driver to the iommu ops")
Simply put: Linux 5.11 and later.
