spi: Fix per-page mapping of unaligned vmalloc-ed buffer
spi_map_buf() processes mapping of vmalloc-ed buffers in a special way, making mapping of every page separately. However, if the buffer is not aligned to page boundary (e.g. sub-array in a vmalloc-ed array), it fills the scatter table with page-size unaligned pieces, that cross page boundaries. This is incorrect and can, for example, cause memory corruption and various crashes when working with ubifs on spi-nor chips (though those drivers are themselves buggy in that they should be providing DMAable memory to the SPI framework). Fix this by using proper scatter table size and intra-page buffer lengths, so that the whole buffer splits into separate scatter table entries on page boundaries.
