[ Upstream commit 7774e3920029398ad49dc848b23840593f14d515 ]
The firmware dumps can be pretty big, and since we use single pages for each SG table entry, even the table itself may end up being an order-5 allocation. Build chained tables so that we need not allocate a higher-order table here.
This could be improved and cleaned up, e.g. by using the SG pool code or simply kvmalloc(), but all of that would require also updating the devcoredump first since that frees it all, so we need to be more careful. SG pool might also run against the CONFIG_ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN limitation, which is irrelevant here.
Also use _devcd_free_sgtable() for the error paths now, much simpler especially since it's in two places now.
