xen-blkfront: improve aproximation of required grants per request
Improve the calculation of required grants to process a request by using nr_phys_segments instead of always assuming a request is going to use all posible segments. nr_phys_segments contains the number of scatter-gather DMA addr+len pairs, which is basically what we put at every granted page. for_each_sg iterates over the DMA addr+len pairs and uses a grant page for each of them.
