[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions



This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG
list and a linear buffer.

- sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list

- sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer

When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list,
flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone
but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not
used in performance critical path.
