[PATCH v7 3/4] scatterlist: add sgl_equal_sgl() function

[Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com>]

After enabling copies between scatter gather lists (sgl_s), another
storage related operation is to compare two sgl_s for equality. This
new function is designed to partially implement NVMe's Compare
command and the SCSI VERIFY(BYTCHK=1) command. Like memcmp() this
function begins scanning at the start (of each sgl) and returns
false on the first miscompare and stops comparing.

The sgl_equal_sgl_idx() function additionally yields the index (i.e.
byte position) of the first miscompare. The additional parameter,
miscompare_idx, is a pointer. If it is non-NULL and a miscompare is
detected (i.e. the function returns false) then the byte index of
the first miscompare is written to *miscompare_idx. Knowing the
location of the first miscompare is needed to implement properly
the SCSI COMPARE AND WRITE command.
