[PATCH 4/4] scatterlist: add sgl_memset()

[Douglas Gilbert]

The existing sg_zero_buffer() function is a bit restrictive.
For example protection information (PI) blocks are usually
initialized to 0xff bytes. As its name suggests sgl_memset()
is modelled on memset(). One difference is the type of the
val argument which is u8 rather than int.
