IB/core: Improve ib_map_mr_sg() documentation
Document that ib_map_mr_sg() is able to map physically discontiguous sg-lists as a single MR. Change IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS_REG into IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS.

* Constraints:

* - The last sg element is allowed to have length less than page_size.
* - If sg_nents total byte length exceeds the mr max_num_sge * page_size

* Returns the number of sg elements that were mapped to the memory region.
