Subject: [PATCH] iommu/iova: change IOVA_MAG_SIZE to 127 to save memory

kmalloc will round up the request size to power of 2, and current
iova_magazine's size is 1032 (1024+8) bytes, so each instance
allocated will get 2048 bytes from kmalloc, causing around 1KB
waste.

And in some exstreme case, the memory wasted can trigger OOM as
reported in 2019 on a crash kernel with 256 MB memory [1].

1024 bytes so that no memory will be wasted.
