xen/blkif: Avoid double access to src->nr_segments

Browse Source 
src is stored in shared memory and src->nr_segments is dereferenced
twice at the end of the function.  If a compiler decides to compile this
into two separate memory accesses then the size limitation could be
bypassed.

Fix it by removing the double access to src->nr_segments.

This is part of XSA-155.
