target: Fix task SGL chaining breakage with transport_allocate_data_tasks

This patch fixes two bugs associated with transport_do_task_sg_chain()
operation where transport_allocate_data_tasks() was incorrectly setting
task_padded_sg for all tasks, and causing bogus task->task_sg_nents
assignments + OOPsen with fabrics depending upon this code.  The first bit
here adds a task_sg_nents_padded check in transport_allocate_data_tasks()
to include an extra SGL vector when necessary for tasks that expect to
be linked using sg_chain().

The second change involves making transport_do_task_sg_chain() properly
account for the extra SGL vector when task->task_padded_sg is set for
the non trailing ->task_sg or single ->task_sg allocations.  Note this
patch also removes the BUG_ON(!task->task_padded_sg) check within
transport_do_task_sg_chain() as we expect this to happen normally
with the updated logic in transport_allocate_data_tasks(), along with
being bogus for CONTROL_SG_IO_CDB type payloads.

So far this bugfix has been tested with tcm_qla2xxx and iblock backends
in (task_count > 1)( and (task_count == 1) operation.
