dma_buf_phys_vec_to_sgt() clears orig_nents to mark the returned table
as DMA-only. Since sg_free_table() uses orig_nents to walk and free the
scatterlist, dma_buf_free_sgt() leaks the allocation on every successful
map/unmap cycle.
Restore orig_nents from nents before freeing the table. The helper
allocates the DMA list directly, so nents retains the allocation count,
including for chained scatterlists.
The reported kmemleak output was:
