media: vb2-dma-contig: add helper for setting dma max seg size

Add a helper function for device drivers to set DMA's max_seg_size.
Setting it to largest possible value lets DMA-mapping API always create
contiguous mappings in DMA address space. This is essential for all
devices, which use dma-contig videobuf2 memory allocator and shared
buffers.

Till now, the only case when vb2-dma-contig really 'worked' was a case
where userspace provided USERPTR buffer, which was in fact mmaped
contiguous buffer from the other v4l2/drm device. Also DMABUF made of
contiguous buffer worked only when its exporter did not split it into
several chunks in the scatter-list. Any other buffer failed, regardless
of the arch/platform used and the presence of the IOMMU of the device bus.

This patch provides interface to fix this issue.

/**
* vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() - configure DMA max segment size
* @dev: device for configuring DMA parameters
* @size: size of DMA max segment size to set
*
* To allow mapping the scatter-list into a single chunk in the DMA
* address space, the device is required to have the DMA max segment
* size parameter set to a value larger than the buffer size. Otherwise,
* the DMA-mapping subsystem will split the mapping into max segment
* size chunks. This function sets the DMA max segment size
* parameter to let DMA-mapping map a buffer as a single chunk in DMA
* address space.
* This code assumes that the DMA-mapping subsystem will merge all
* scatterlist segments if this is really possible (for example when
* an IOMMU is available and enabled).
* Ideally, this parameter should be set by the generic bus code, but it
* is left with the default 64KiB value due to historical litmiations in
* other subsystems (like limited USB host drivers) and there no good
* place to set it to the proper value.
* This function should be called from the drivers, which are known to
* operate on platforms with IOMMU and provide access to shared buffers
* (either USERPTR or DMABUF). This should be done before initializing
* videobuf2 queue.
