On contiguous allocation, we round up the size

to free the unused pages after the newly allocate block.

v2(Matthew Auld):
   - replace function name 'drm_buddy_free_unused_pages' with
     drm_buddy_block_trim
   - replace input argument name 'actual_size' with 'new_size'
   - add more validation checks for input arguments
   - add overlaps check to avoid needless searching and splitting
   - merged the below patch to see the feature in action
     - add free unused pages support to i915 driver
   - lock drm_buddy_block_trim() function as it calls mark_free/mark_split
     are all globally visible

v3:
   - remove drm_buddy_block_trim() error handling and
     print a warn message if it fails

Hmm, ideally we don't want to leave around blocks where both buddies are free without then also merging them back(not sure if that trips some BUG_ON). Also IIUC, if we hit this failure path, depending on where the split_block() fails we might be allocating something less than new_size? Also if it's the first split_block() that fails then the user just gets an empty list?

Could we perhaps just turn this node into a temporary root node to prevent recursively freeing itself, but still retain the un-splitting/freeing of the other nodes i.e something like:

list_del(&block->link);
mark_free(mm, block);
mm->avail += ...;

/* Prevent recursively freeing this node */
parent = block->parent;
block->parent = NULL;

list_add(&block->tmp_link, &dfs);
ret = _alloc_range(mm, &dfs, new_start, new_size, blocks);
if (ret) {
    mem->avail -= ...;
    mark_allocated(block);
    list_add(&block->link, blocks);
}

block->parent = parent;
return ret;

That way we can also drop the special trim_path handling. Thoughts?

IIUC this prints a warning even for success? Anyway, I think we can drop the pr_warn, since normal user can't really do much here?
