I don't like this patch very much.  Why add another layer of 
indirection when the two subroutines do hardly any work?  Leave 
usb_stor_bulk_srb() the way it was, and add usb_stor_bulk_srb_length() 
as a separate routine that simply calls usb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist() 
and scsi_set_resid().

BTW, the standard coding style calls for a blank line after the list of 
local variables at the start of a function or block.
