rust: scatterlist: Add abstraction for sg_table
Add a safe Rust abstraction for the kernel's scatter-gather list facilities (`struct scatterlist` and `struct sg_table`). This commit introduces `SGTable<T>`, a wrapper that uses a generic parameter to provide compile-time guarantees about ownership and lifetime. The abstraction provides two primary states: - `SGTable<Owned<P>>`: Represents a table whose resources are fully managed by Rust. It takes ownership of a page provider `P`, allocates the underlying `struct sg_table`, maps it for DMA, and handles all cleanup automatically upon drop. The DMA mapping's lifetime is tied to the associated device using `Devres`, ensuring it is correctly unmapped before the device is unbound. - `SGTable<Borrowed>` (or just `SGTable`): A zero-cost representation of an externally managed `struct sg_table`. It is created from a raw pointer using `SGTable::from_raw()` and provides a lifetime-bound reference (`&'a SGTable`) for operations like iteration. The API exposes a safe iterator that yields `&SGEntry` references, allowing drivers to easily access the DMA address and length of each segment in the list.
