PATCH 1/1 RDS: Heap OOB write in rds_message_alloc_sgs()

From: Mohamed Ghannam <[email protected]>

When args->nr_local is 0, nr_pages gets also 0 due some size calculation via rds_rm_size(), which is later used to allocate pages for DMA, this bug produces a heap Out-Of-Bound write access to a specific memory region.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
