drm: gem_cma_helper.c: Allow importing of contiguous scatterlists with nents > 1
drm_gem_cma_prime_import_sg_table() will fail if the number of entries in the sg_table > 1. However, you can have a device that uses an IOMMU engine and can map a discontiguous buffer with multiple entries that have consecutive sg_dma_addresses, effectively making it contiguous. Allow for that scenario by testing the entries in the sg_table for contiguous coverage.
