[PATCH 3/4] lib/scatterlist: Introduce and export __sg_alloc_table_from_pages

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>

Drivers like i915 benefit from being able to control the maxium
size of the sg coallesced segment while building the scatter-
gather list.

Introduce and export the __sg_alloc_table_from_pages function
which will allow it that control.

v2: Reorder parameters. (Chris Wilson)
v3: Fix incomplete reordering in v2.
v4: max_segment needs to be page aligned.
v5: Rebase.
v6: Rebase.
