IB/ipath: ipath_skip_sge() can break if num_sge > 1

Browse source 
ipath_skip_sge() doesn't exactly duplicate the side effects of
ipath_copy_sge() if num_sge > 1 since it doesn't decrement ss->num_sge.
This could result in the sg_list being accessed out of bounds.
Since ipath_skip_sge() is almost always called with num_sge == 1,
the original "optimization" is almost never used.
