uas: Make sure sg elements are properly aligned
Copy the sg alignment trick from the usb-storage driver, without this I'm seeing intermittent errors when using uas devices with an ehci controller. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com>
