Konsta Holtta ba8fa334f4 gpu: nvgpu: introduce explicit nvgpu_sgl type ...

The operations in struct nvgpu_sgt_ops have a scatter-gather list (sgl)
argument which is a void pointer. Change the type signatures to take
struct nvgpu_sgl * which is an opaque marker type that makes it more
difficult to pass around wrong arguments, as anything goes for void *.
Explicit types add also self-documentation to the code.

For some added safety, some explicit type casts are now required in
implementors of the nvgpu_sgt_ops interface when converting between the
general nvgpu_sgl type and implementation-specific types.  This is not
purely a bad thing because the casts explain clearly where type
conversions are happening.
