[PATCH v4 12/38] drm: i915: fix common struct sg_table related issues

The Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt states that the dma_map_sg() function
returns the number of the created entries in the DMA address space.
However the subsequent calls to the dma_sync_sg_for_{device,cpu}() and
dma_unmap_sg must be called with the original number of the entries
passed to the dma_map_sg().

struct sg_table is a common structure used for describing a non-contiguous
memory buffer, used commonly in the DRM and graphics subsystems. It
consists of a scatterlist with memory pages and DMA addresses (sgl entry),
as well as the number of scatterlist entries: CPU pages (orig_nents entry)
and DMA mapped pages (nents entry).

It turned out that it was a common mistake to misuse nents and orig_nents
entries, calling DMA-mapping functions with a wrong number of entries or
ignoring the number of mapped entries returned by the dma_map_sg()
function.

This driver creatively uses sg_table->orig_nents to store the size of the
allocated scatterlist and ignores the number of the entries returned by
dma_map_sg function. The sg_table->orig_nents is (mis)used to properly
free the (over)allocated scatterlist.

This patch only introduces the common DMA-mapping wrappers operating
directly on the struct sg_table objects to the dmabuf related functions,
so the other drivers, which might share buffers with i915 could rely on
the properly set nents and orig_nents values.
