After enable the HIGHMEM and VMSPLIT_3G, the dwc_otg driver doesn't
work well on Pi2/3 boards with 1G physical ram. Users experience
the failure when copying a file of 600M size to the USB stick. And
at the same time, the dmesg shows:
usb 1-1.1.2: reset high-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 3024048 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x4000 phys_seg 15 prio class 0

When this happens, the sg_buf sent to the driver is located in the
highmem region, the usb_sg_init() in the core/message.c will leave
transfer_buffer to NULL if the sg_buf is in highmem, but in the
dwc_otg driver, it returns -EINVAL unconditionally if transfer_buffer
is NULL.

The driver can handle the situation of buffer to be NULL, if it is in
DMA mode, it will convert an address from transfer_dma.

But if the conversion fails or it is in the PIO mode, we should check
buffer and return -EINVAL if it is NULL.

Looks good to me. @P33M Feel free to merge if you're happy with it, and I'll cherry-pick to 4.19 and 5.4 (5.3 is essentially dead as far as we're concerned).
