scatterlist: prevent invalid free when alloc fails

When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of
bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page()
or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1),
and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by
kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.
