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.
