lib/scatterlist: Avoid potential scatterlist entry overflow

Since the scatterlist length field is an unsigned int, make
sure that sg_alloc_table_from_pages does not overflow it while
coalescing pages to a single entry.

v2: Drop reference to future use. Use UINT_MAX.
v3: max_segment must be page aligned.
v4: Do not rely on compiler to optimise out the rounddown.
    (Joonas Lahtinen)
v5: Simplified loops and use post-increments rather than
    pre-increments. Use PAGE_MASK and fix comment typo.
    (Andy Shevchenko)
v6: Commit spelling fix.
