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.
