Subject: [PATCH 3/5] lib/scatterlist: Introduce and export __sg_alloc_table_from_pages

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@...el.com>

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.
