Gilad Ben-Yossef d317120097 scatterlist: do not disable IRQs in sg_copy_buffer
Commit 50bed2e286 ("sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer")
introduced disabling interrupts in sg_copy_buffer() since atomic uses of
miter required it due to use of kmap_atomic().

However, as commit 8290e2d2dc ("scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter()
no longer needs disabled IRQs") acknowledges disabling interrupts is no
longer needed for calls to kmap_atomic() and therefore unneeded for
miter ops either, so remove it from sg_copy_buffer().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
