[PATCH 2/5] lib/scatterlist: Avoid potential scatterlist entry overflow

Since the scatterlist length field is an unsigned int, make
sure that sg_alloc_table_from_pages does not overflow it while
coallescing pages to a single entry.

It is I think only a theoretical possibility at the moment,
but the ability to limit the coallesced size will have
another use in following patches.
