Add pci_p2pdma_unmap_sg() to the two places that call pci_p2pdma_map_sg().
This is a prep patch to introduce correct mappings for p2pdma transactions
that go through the root complex.

This is to match the dma_map_sg() API which this function will have to call
in an future patch.
Add a pci_p2pdma_map_sg_attrs() function and helper to call it with no
attributes just like the dma_map_sg() function.

Users of the P2PDMA infrastructure will typically need a way for the user
to tell the kernel to use P2P resources. Typically this will be a simple
on/off boolean operation but sometimes it may be desirable for the user to
specify the exact device to use for the P2P operation.
Add new helpers for attributes which take a boolean or a PCI device. Any
boolean as accepted by strtobool() turn P2P on or off (such as 'y', 'n',
'1', '0', etc). Specifying a full PCI device name/BDF will select the
specific device.

The DMA address used when mapping PCI P2P memory must be the PCI bus
address. Thus, introduce pci_p2pmem_map_sg() to map the correct addresses
when using P2P memory.
Memory mapped in this way does not need to be unmapped and thus if we
provided pci_p2pmem_unmap_sg() it would be empty. This breaks the expected
balance between map/unmap but was left out as an empty function doesn't
really provide any benefit. In the future, if this call becomes necessary
it can be added without much difficulty.
For this, we assume that an SGL passed to these functions contain all P2P
memory or no P2P memory.

Some PCI devices may have memory mapped in a BAR space that's intended for
use in peer-to-peer transactions. To enable such transactions the memory
must be registered with ZONE_DEVICE pages so it can be used by DMA
interfaces in existing drivers.
Add an interface for other subsystems to find and allocate chunks of P2P
memory as necessary to facilitate transfers between two PCI peers:
struct pci_dev *pci_p2pmem_find[_many]();
int pci_p2pdma_distance[_many]();
void *pci_alloc_p2pmem();
The new interface requires a driver to collect a list of client devices
involved in the transaction then call pci_p2pmem_find() to obtain any
suitable P2P memory. Alternatively, if the caller knows a device which
provides P2P memory, they can use pci_p2pdma_distance() to determine if it
is usable. With a suitable p2pmem device, memory can then be allocated
with pci_alloc_p2pmem() for use in DMA transactions.
Depending on hardware, using peer-to-peer memory may reduce the bandwidth
of the transfer but can significantly reduce pressure on system memory.
This may be desirable in many cases: for example a system could be designed
with a small CPU connected to a PCIe switch by a small number of lanes
which would maximize the number of lanes available to connect to NVMe
devices.
The code is designed to only utilize the p2pmem device if all the devices
involved in a transfer are behind the same PCI bridge. This is because we
have no way of knowing whether peer-to-peer routing between PCIe Root Ports
is supported (PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.1). Additionally, the benefits of P2P
transfers that go through the RC is limited to only reducing DRAM usage
and, in some cases, coding convenience. The PCI-SIG may be exploring
adding a new capability bit to advertise whether this is possible for
future hardware.
This commit includes significant rework and feedback from Christoph
Hellwig.
