Subject: [PATCH 1/4] scatterlist: Introduce some helper functions

In crypto engine framework, one request can combine other requests'
scatterlists into its sg table to improve engine efficency with
handling bulk block. Thus we need some helper functions to manage
dynamic scattertables.

This patch introduces 'sg_is_contiguous()' function to check if two
scatterlists are contiguous, 'sg_alloc_empty_table()' function to
allocate one empty sg table, 'sg_add_sg_to_table()' function to add
one scatterlist into sg table and 'sg_table_is_empty' function to
check if the sg table is empty.
