There's another bug in the transport.c conversion in that the residuals
are updated with bogus data in several error cases, since
usb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist() only sets the actual length if the urb
is actually sent.

I'm not sure if this is is the solution to the problem at hand, but it
definitely fixes another bug in the code.
