Aditya Garg 23adfc77c2 net: mana: Fall back to scattered pages for GDMA queues
Each GDMA queue ring is one dma_alloc_coherent() of the whole ring size.
Such high-order allocations fail first under memory fragmentation, so
queue setup can fail with memory still free.

The hardware does not need the ring physically contiguous:
mana_gd_create_dma_region() already maps it as a list of MANA_PAGE_SIZE
(4K) device addresses. Only the driver's linear CPU view needs
contiguity, and it goes through mana_gd_ring_ptr() and
mana_gd_ring_contig_avail(); change both to map offsets onto
scattered pages.

Add a fallback in mana_gd_alloc_memory(): data-path queues pass
allow_scatter=true, so when the contiguous allocation fails the ring is
backed by a vector of scattered PAGE_SIZE (order-0) coherent pages,
presenting the same DMA page-list layout to the device. The HW channel
bootstrap keeps allow_scatter=false, and the debugfs ring dumper reads
scattered rings through the same helpers.
