Pull SCSI scatter-gather list updates from James Bottomley:
"This topic branch covers a fundamental change in how our sg lists are
allocated to make mq more efficient by reducing the size of the
preallocated sg list.
This necessitates a large number of driver changes because the
previous guarantee that if a driver specified SG_ALL as the size of
its scatter list, it would get a non-chained list and didn't need to
bother with scatterlist iterators is now broken and every driver
*must* use scatterlist iterators.
This was broken out as a separate topic because we need to convert all
the drivers before pulling the trigger and unconverted drivers kept
being found, necessitating a rebase"

If user doesn't ask to preallocate by passing zero 'nents_first_chunk' to
sg_alloc_table_chained, we need to make sure that 'first_chunk' is cleared.
Otherwise, __sg_alloc_table() still may think that the 1st SGL should be
from the preallocation.
Fixes the issue by clearing 'first_chunk' in sg_alloc_table_chained() if
'nents_first_chunk' is zero.

sg_alloc_table_chained() currently allows the caller to provide one
preallocated SGL and returns if the requested number isn't bigger than
size of that SGL. This is used to inline an SGL for an IO request.
However, scattergather code only allows that size of the 1st preallocated
SGL to be SG_CHUNK_SIZE(128). This means a substantial amount of memory
(4KB) is claimed for the SGL for each IO request. If the I/O is small, it
would be prudent to allocate a smaller SGL.
Introduce an extra parameter to sg_alloc_table_chained() and
sg_free_table_chained() for specifying size of the preallocated SGL.
Both __sg_free_table() and __sg_alloc_table() assume that each SGL has the
same size except for the last one. Change the code to allow both functions
to accept a variable size for the 1st preallocated SGL.

Now it's ready to move the mempool based SG chained allocator code from
SCSI driver to lib/sg_pool.c, which will be compiled only based on a Kconfig
symbol CONFIG_SG_POOL.
SCSI selects CONFIG_SG_POOL.
