sg: set dxferp to NULL for READ with the older SG interface

With the older SG interface, we don't know a user-space address to
trasfer data when executing a SCSI command. So we can't pass a
user-space address to blk_rq_map_user.

This patch fixes sg to pass a NULL user-space address to
blk_rq_map_user so that it just sets up a request and bios with page
frames propely without data transfer.
