[PATCH 3/6] lib/scatterlist: Do not leak pages when high-order allocation fails

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>

If a higher-order allocation fails, the existing abort and cleanup path
would consider all segments allocated so far as 0-order page allocations
and would therefore leak memory.

Fix this by cleaning up using sgl_free_n_order which allows the correct
page order to be passed in.
