Impact: fix SG_IO behavior such that it matches the documentation

SG_IO howto says that if ->dxfer_len and sum of iovec disagress, the
shorter one wins.  However, the current implementation returns -EINVAL
for such cases.  Trim iovc if it's longer than ->dxfer_len.

This patch uses iov_*() helpers which take struct iovec * by casting
struct sg_iovec * to it.  sg_iovec is always identical to iovec and
this will be further cleaned up with later patches.
