scsi: sg: sg_new_write(): don't bother with access_ok
... just use copy_from_user(). We copy only SZ_SG_IO_HDR bytes, so that would, strictly speaking, loosen the check. However, for call chains via ->write() the caller has actually checked the entire range and SG_IO passes exactly SZ_SG_IO_HDR for count. So no visible behaviour changes happen if we check only what we really need for copyin.
