Andrea Righi 7b34d5257a kfifo: fix kernel BUG in dma example
The scatterlist is used uninitialized in kfifo_dma_in_prepare().  This
triggers the following bug if CONFIG_DEBUG_SG=y:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:65!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
