[PATCH v5 4/4] scatterlist: add sgl_memset()

[Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The existing sg_zero_buffer() function is a bit restrictive. For
example protection information (PI) blocks are usually initialized
to 0xff bytes. As its name suggests sgl_memset() is modelled on
memset(). One difference is the type of the val argument which is
u8 rather than int. Plus it returns the number of bytes (over)written.

Change implementation of sg_zero_buffer() to call this new function.
