[PATCH v3 1/2] omap3: iovmm: Work around sg_alloc_table size limitation in IOMMU

sg_alloc_table can only allocate multi-page scatter-gather list tables
if the architecture supports scatter-gather lists chaining. ARM doesn't
fit in that category.

The IOMMU driver abuses the sg table structure only to hold page
addresses without ever passing the table to the device.

Use __sg_alloc_table instead of sg_alloc_table and allocate all entries
in one go. Otherwise trying to use a large userspace buffers to capture
video will hit a BUG_ON in __sg_alloc_table.
