The problem with just handing out obj->sgt is that these buffers may be
used by several of the host1x engines in the same job. This means that
they may end up getting dma_map()'ed by multiple devices. dma_map_*()
stores the DMA addresses for the buffer in the SG entries, so subsequent
calls would effectively overwrite the earlier mappings, so we need a new
SG table for each device.
