This patch fixes a bug that was found in the dmabuf flow.
Bug description as found on Gaudi2 device:
1. User allocates 4MB of device memory
- Note that although the allocation size was 4MB the HMMU allocated
a full page of 768MB to back the request.
- The user gets a memory handle that points to a single page (768MB)
- Mapping the handle, the user gets virtual address to the start of
the page.
2. User exports the buffer
3. User registers the exported buffer in the importer. This flow has
a callback to the exporter which in turn converts the phys_page_pack
to an SG list for the importer. This SG list is of single entry of
size 768MB. However, the size that was passed to the importer was
only 4MB.
The solution for this is to make sure the importer gets exposure only
to the exported size.
This will be done by fixing the SG created by the exporter to be of
the total size of the actual exported memory requested by the user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
