Subject: [PATCH V1] lib/scatterlist: Fix to calculate the last_pg properly

The last_pg is wrong, it is actually the first page of the last
scatterlist element. To get the last page of the last scatterlist
element we have to add prv->length. So it is checking mergability
against the wrong page, Further, a SG element is not guaranteed to end
on a page boundary, so we have to check the sub page location also for
merge eligibility.

Fix the above by checking physical contiguity based on PFNs, compute the
actual last page and then call pages_are_mergable().

Fixes: 1567b49d1a40 ("lib/scatterlist: add check when merging zone device pages")

Changelog:
v1:
 * Rename 'paddr' to 'next_pfn' as it's actually.
 * Move to use page_to_phys() to clarify the code.
 * Fix to use (next_pfn - 1) instead of (paddr - PAGE_SIZE).
