This patch adds a new constructor for an sg table. The table is constructed
from an array of struct pages. All contiguous chunks of the pages are merged
into a single sg nodes. A user may provide an offset and a size of a buffer if
the buffer is not page-aligned.
The function is dedicated for DMABUF exporters which often perform conversion
from an page array to a scatterlist. Moreover the scatterlist should be
squashed in order to save memory and to speed-up the process of DMA mapping
using dma_map_sg.
The code is based on the patch 'v4l: vb2-dma-contig: add support for
scatterlist in userptr mode' and hints from Laurent Pinchart.

I like this and we could replace the drm helper function in drm prime with
this one. One comment below.

I'm not aware of the details (and didn't bother to do a full audit), but
I guess this could blow up on funky discontig-mem setups. Imo would be
safer to compare the pfn or phys address. And also slightly more readable.
Imo sg table creation is not a fastpath, the exporter should cache these
anyway, so we can waste some cpu cycles here.
