David S. Miller 51c739d1f4 [NET]: Fix incorrect sg_mark_end() calls.
This fixes scatterlist corruptions added by

	commit 68e3f5dd4d
	[CRYPTO] users: Fix up scatterlist conversion errors

The issue is that the code calls sg_mark_end() which clobbers the
sg_page() pointer of the final scatterlist entry.

The first part fo the fix makes skb_to_sgvec() do __sg_mark_end().

After considering all skb_to_sgvec() call sites the most correct
solution is to call __sg_mark_end() in skb_to_sgvec() since that is
what all of the callers would end up doing anyways.

I suspect this might have fixed some problems in virtio_net which is
the sole non-crypto user of skb_to_sgvec().

Other similar sg_mark_end() cases were converted over to
__sg_mark_end() as well.

Arguably sg_mark_end() is a poorly named function because it doesn't
just "mark", it clears out the page pointer as a side effect, which is
what led to these bugs in the first place.

The one remaining plain sg_mark_end() call is in scsi_alloc_sgtable()
and arguably it could be converted to __sg_mark_end() if only so that
we can delete this confusing interface from linux/scatterlist.h
