[PATCH v3 3/4] scatterlist: add sgl_compare_sgl() function

[Douglas Gilbert]

After enabling copies between scatter gather lists (sgl_s),
another storage related operation is to compare two sgl_s.
This new function is modelled on NVMe's Compare command and
the SCSI VERIFY(BYTCHK=1) command. Like memcmp() this function
returns false on the first miscompare and stops comparing.
