dmaengine: Use dma_sg_len(sg) instead of sg->length
sg->length may or may not contain the length of the dma region to transfer,
depending on the architecture - dma_sg_len(sg) always will though. For the
architectures which use the drivers modified by this patch it probably is the
case that sg->length contains the dma transfer length. But to be consistent and
future proof change them to use dma_sg_len.
To quote Russel King:
sg->length is meaningless to something performing DMA.
In cases where sg_dma_len(sg) and sg->length are the same storage, then
there's no problem. But scatterlists _can_ (and one some architectures) do
split them - especially when you have an IOMMU which can allow you to
combine a scatterlist into fewer entries.
So, anything using sg->length for the size of a scatterlist's DMA transfer
_after_ a call to dma_map_sg() is almost certainly buggy.
The patch has been generated using the following coccinelle patch:

-sg[X].length
+sg_dma_len(&sg[X])
