iommu/iova: introduce per-cpu caching to iova allocation

IOVA allocation has two problems that impede high-throughput I/O.
First, it can do a linear search over the allocated IOVA ranges.
Second, the rbtree spinlock that serializes IOVA allocations becomes
contended.

Address these problems by creating an API for caching allocated IOVA
ranges, so that the IOVA allocator isn't accessed frequently.  This
patch adds a per-CPU cache, from which CPUs can alloc/free IOVAs
without taking the rbtree spinlock.  The per-CPU caches are backed by
a global cache, to avoid invoking the (linear-time) IOVA allocator
without needing to make the per-CPU cache size excessive.  This design
is based on magazines, as described in "Magazines and Vmem: Extending
the Slab Allocator to Many CPUs and Arbitrary Resources" (currently
available at https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix01/bonwick.html)

Adding caching on top of the existing rbtree allocator maintains the
property that IOVAs are densely packed in the IO virtual address space,
which is important for keeping IOMMU page table usage low.

To keep the cache size reasonable, we bound the IOVA space a CPU can
cache by 32 MiB (we cache a bounded number of IOVA ranges, and only
ranges of size <= 128 KiB).  The shared global cache is bounded at
4 MiB of IOVA space.
