An attempt to address #2680 by using a DMA pool for small allocations during bulk transfers.

Thanks to @pelwell and @lategoodbye for reviewing V1 of this patch.

detule and others added 4 commits October 1, 2018 20:39
During a bulk transfer we request a DMA allocation to hold the
scatter-gather list.  Most of the time, this allocation is small
(<< PAGE_SIZE), however it can be requested at a high enough frequency
to cause fragmentation and/or stress the CMA allocator (think time
spent in compaction here, or during allocations elsewhere).

Implement a pool to serve up small DMA allocations, falling back
to a coherent allocation if the request is greater than
VCHIQ_DMA_POOL_SIZE.

During a bulk transfer we request a DMA allocation to hold the
scatter-gather list.  Most of the time, this allocation is small
(<< PAGE_SIZE), however it can be requested at a high enough frequency
to cause fragmentation and/or stress the CMA allocator (think time
spent in compaction here, or during allocations elsewhere).

Implement a pool to serve up small DMA allocations, falling back
to a coherent allocation if the request is greater than
VCHIQ_DMA_POOL_SIZE.
