Based on the reality[1][2] that vb2_dma_sg_alloc() can't alloc buffer with
device DMA limits, those device will always get below error: "swiotlb
buffer is full (sz: 393216 bytes), total 65536 (slots), used 2358 (slots)"
and the uvc gadget function can't work at all.

The videobuf2-dma-sg.c driver doesn't has a formal improve about this issue
till now. For UVC gadget, the videobuf2 subsystem doesn't do dma_map() on
vmalloc returned big buffer when allocate the video buffers, however, it do
it for dma_sg returned buffer. So the issue happens for vb2_dma_sg_alloc().

To workaround the issue, lets retry vb2_reqbufs() with
vb_vmalloc_memops if it fails to allocate buffer with vb2_dma_sg_memops.
If use vmalloced buffer, UVC gadget will allocate some small buffers for
each usb_request to do dma transfer, then uvc driver will memcopy data
from big buffer to small buffer.
