drm/i915: create compact dma scatter lists for gem objects
So far we created a sparse dma scatter list for gem objects, where each scatter list entry represented only a single page. In the future we'll have to handle compact scatter lists too where each entry can consist of multiple pages, for example for objects imported through PRIME. The previous patches have already fixed up all other places where the i915 driver _walked_ these lists. Here we have the corresponding fix to _create_ compact lists. It's not a performance or memory footprint improvement, but it helps to better exercise the new logic.
