Subject: [PATCH v2 00/13] dmaengine: introduce sg_nents_for_dma() and convert users

A handful of the DMAengine drivers use same routine to calculate the number of
SG entries needed for the given DMA transfer. Provide a common helper for them
and convert.

I left the new helper on SG level of API because brief grepping shows potential
candidates outside of DMA engine, e.g.:

  drivers/crypto/chelsio/chcr_algo.c:154:  nents += DIV_ROUND_UP(less, entlen);
  drivers/spi/spi-stm32.c:1495:  /* Count the number of entries needed */

Changelog v2:
- dropped outdated patches (only 9 years passed :-)
- rebased on top of the current kernel
- left API SG wide It might
