Subject: scsi: sg: check for valid direction before starting the request

From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.de>


[ Upstream commit 28676d869bbb5257b5f14c0c95ad3af3a7019dd5 ]

Check for a valid direction before starting the request, otherwise we
risk running into an assertion in the scsi midlayer checking for valid
requests.

[mkp: fixed typo]
