Implement throttling of swiotlb map requests. Because throttling requires
temporarily pending some requests, throttling can only be used by map
requests made in contexts that can block. Detecting such contexts at
runtime is infeasible, so device driver code must be updated to add
DMA_ATTR_MAY_BLOCK on map requests done in a context that can block.
Even if a map request is throttled, the corresponding unmap request will
never block, so unmap has no context restrictions, just like current code.
If a swiotlb map request does *not* have DMA_ATTR_MAY_BLOCK, no throttling
is done and there is no functional change.

The goal of throttling is to reduce peak usage of swiotlb memory,
particularly in environments like CoCo VMs which must use bounce buffering
for all DMA I/O. These VMs currently allocate up to 1 GiB for swiotlb
memory to ensure that it isn't exhausted. But for many workloads, this
memory is effectively wasted because it can't be used for other purposes.
Throttling can lower the swiotlb memory requirements without unduly raising
the risk of exhaustion, thus making several hundred MiBs of additional
memory available for general usage.

The high-level implementation is as follows:

1.  Each struct io_tlb_mem has a semaphore that is initialized to 1.  A
semaphore is used instead of a mutex because the semaphore likely won't
be released by the same thread that obtained it.

2. Each struct io_tlb_mem has a swiotlb space usage level above which
throttling is done. This usage level is initialized to 70% of the total
size of that io_tlb_mem, and is tunable at runtime via /sys if
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is set.

3. When swiotlb_tbl_map_single() is invoked with throttling allowed, if
the current usage of that io_tlb_mem is above the throttle level, the
semaphore must be obtained before proceeding. The semaphore is then
released by the corresponding swiotlb unmap call. If the semaphore is
already held when swiotlb_tbl_map_single() must obtain it, the calling
thread blocks until the semaphore is available. Once the thread obtains
the semaphore, it proceeds to allocate swiotlb space in the usual way.
The swiotlb map call saves throttling information in the io_tlb_slot, and
then swiotlb unmap uses that information to determine if the semaphore
is held. If so, it releases the semaphore, potentially allowing a
queued request to proceed. Overall, the semaphore queues multiple waiters
and wakes them up in the order in which they waited. Effectively, the
semaphore single threads map/unmap pairs to reduce peak usage.

4. A "low throttle" level is also implemented and initialized to 65% of
the total size of the io_tlb_mem. If the current usage is between the
throttle level and the low throttle level, AND the semaphore is held, the
requestor must obtain the semaphore. Consider if throttling occurs, so
that one map request holds the semaphore, and three others are queued
waiting for the semaphore. If swiotlb usage then drops because of
unrelated unmap's, a new incoming map request may not get throttled, and
bypass the three requests waiting in the semaphore queue. There's not
a forward progress issue because the requests in the queue will complete
as long as the underlying I/Os make forward progress. But to somewhat
address the fairness issue, the low throttle level provides hysteresis
in that new incoming requests continue to queue on the semaphore as long
as used swiotlb memory is above that lower limit.

5. SGLs are handled in a subsequent patch.

In #3 above the check for being above the throttle level is an
instantaneous check with no locking and no reservation of space, to avoid
atomic operations. Consequently, multiple threads could all make the check
and decide they are under the throttle level. They can all proceed without
obtaining the semaphore, and potentially generate a peak in usage.
Furthermore, other DMA map requests that don't have throttling enabled
proceed without even checking, and hence can also push usage toward a peak.
So throttling can blunt and reduce peaks in swiotlb memory usage, but
does it not guarantee to prevent exhaustion.

Are these struct members needed if CONFIG_SWIOTLB_THROTTLE is not set?

I think this should not be removed but changed to:
#if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) || defined(CONFIG_SWIOTLB_THROTTLE)

And these two should be guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_SWIOTLB_THROTTLE.

If I didn't know anything about the concept, this description would
confuse me... The short description should be something like: "Throttle
the use of DMA bounce buffers." Do not mention "enabled drivers" here;
it's sufficient to mention the limitations in the help text.

In addition, the help text should make it clear that this throttling
does not apply if bounce buffers are not needed; except for CoCo VMs,
this is the most common case. I mean, your description does mention CoCo
VMs, but e.g. distributions may wonder what the impact would be if they
enable this option and the kernel then runs on bare metal.

I'm not sure this flag is needed for each slot.

SWIOTLB mappings should be throttled when the total SWIOTLB usage is
above a threshold. Conversely, it can be unthrottled when the total
usage goes below a threshold, and it should not matter if that happens
due to an unmap of the exact buffer which previously pushed the usage
over the edge, or due to an unmap of any other unrelated buffer.

I had a few more comments to the rest of this patch, but they're moot
if this base logic gets redone.
