Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] iommu/iova: use named kmem_cache for iova magazines

From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@...een.com>

The magazine buffers can take gigabytes of kmem memory, dominating all
other allocations. For observability purpose create named slab cache so
the iova magazine memory overhead can be clearly observed.

With this change:

> slabtop -o | head
 Active / Total Objects (% used)    : 869731 / 952904 (91.3%)
 Active / Total Slabs (% used)      : 103411 / 103974 (99.5%)
 Active / Total Caches (% used)     : 135 / 211 (64.0%)
 Active / Total Size (% used)       : 395389.68K / 411430.20K (96.1%)
 Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.02K / 0.43K / 8.00K

OBJS ACTIVE  USE OBJ SIZE  SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
244412 244239 99%    1.00K  61103       4    244412K iommu_iova_magazine
 91636  88343 96%    0.03K    739     124      2956K kmalloc-32
 75744  74844 98%    0.12K   2367      32      9468K kernfs_node_cache

On this machine it is now clear that magazine use 242M of kmem memory.
