sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer

Browse Source 
The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529

James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.
