If using indirect descriptors, you can make the total_sg as large as
you want.  If not, BUG is too serious because the function later
returns -ENOSPC.

Thanks Paolo Bonzini, Christoph Hellwig.

So we get here only if vq->vq.num_free is zero.  In that case,
vq->indirect makes no difference for the appropriateness of the warning
(that is, it should never be issued for indirect descriptors).
