lib/scatterlist: add sg_init_marker() helper
sg_init_marker initializes sg_magic in the sg table and calls sg_mark_end() on the last entry of the table. This can be useful to avoid memset in sg_init_table() when scatterlist is already zeroed out For example: when scatterlist is embedded inside other struct and that container struct is zeroed out Suggested-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: Prashant Bhole <bhole_prashant_q7@lab.ntt.co.jp> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
