gpu: nvgpu: SGL passthrough implementation

The basic nvgpu_mem_sgl implementation provides support
for OS specific scatter-gather list implementations by
simply copying them node by node. This is inefficient,
taking extra time and memory.

This patch implements an nvgpu_mem_sgt struct to act as
a header which is inserted at the front of any scatter-
gather list implementation. This labels every struct
with a set of ops which can be used to interact with
the attached scatter gather list.

Since nvgpu common code only has to interact with these
function pointers, any sgl implementation can be used.
Initialization only requires the allocation of a single
struct, removing the need to copy or iterate through the
sgl being converted.
