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:
<smpl>
@@
struct scatterlist *sg;
expression X;
@@
-sg[X].length
+sg_dma_len(&sg[X])
@@
struct scatterlist *sg;

-sg->length
+sg_dma_len(sg)
</smpl>
