dma-buf: improve sg_table debugging hack v4
This debugging hack is important to enforce the rule that importers
should *never* touch the underlying struct page of the exporter.
Instead of just mangling the page link create a copy of the sg_table
but only copy over the DMA addresses and not the pages.
This will cause a NULL pointer de-reference if the importer tries to
touch the struct page. Still quite a hack but this at least allows the
exporter to properly keeps it's sg_table intact while allowing the
DMA-buf maintainer to find and fix misbehaving importers and finally
switch over to using a different data structure in the future.
v2: improve the hack further by using a wrapper structure and explaining
the background a bit more in the commit message.
v3: fix some whitespace issues, use sg_assign_page().
v4: give the functions a better name
