lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages
The i915 driver uses sg lists for memory without backing 'struct page' pages, similarly to other IO memory regions, setting only the DMA address for these. It does this, so that it can program the HW MMU tables in a uniform way both for sg lists with and without backing pages. Without a valid page pointer we can't call nth_page to get the current page in __sg_page_iter_next, so add a helper that relevant users can call separately. Also add a helper to get the DMA address of the current page (idea from Daniel). Convert all places in i915, to use the new API.
