A user or admin can configure a VMM (Qemu) Guest's memory to be
backed by hugetlb pages for various reasons. However, a Guest OS
would still allocate (and pin) buffers that are backed by regular
4k sized pages. In order to map these buffers and create dma-bufs
for them on the Host, we first need to find the hugetlb pages where
the buffer allocations are located and then determine the offsets
of individual chunks (within those pages) and use this information
to eventually populate a scatterlist.
Testcase: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2500 options
were passed to the Host kernel and Qemu was launched with these
relevant options: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m....
-device virtio-gpu-pci,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080
-display gtk,gl=on
-object memory-backend-memfd,hugetlb=on,id=mem1,size=4096M
-machine memory-backend=mem1
Replacing -display gtk,gl=on with -display gtk,gl=off above would
exercise the mmap handler.
v2: Updated get_sg_table() to manually populate the scatterlist for
both huge page and non-huge-page cases.

LGTM, in general. But I really hope Mike can comment.
