lib/scatterlist: Provide a DMA page iterator
Commit 2db76d7c3c6d ("lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages") introduced the sg_page_iter_dma_address() function without providing a way to use it in the general case. If the sg_dma_len() is not equal to the sg length callers cannot safely use the for_each_sg_page/sg_page_iter_dma_address combination. Resolve this API mistake by providing a DMA specific iterator, for_each_sg_dma_page(), that uses the right length so sg_page_iter_dma_address() works as expected with all sglists. A new iterator type is introduced to provide compile-time safety against wrongly mixing accessors and iterators.
