At the moment pages used for TCE tables (in addition to pages addressed
by TCEs) are not counted in locked_vm counter so a malicious userspace
tool can call ioctl(KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE) as many times as RLIMIT_NOFILE and
lock a lot of memory.

This adds counting for pages used for TCE tables.

This counts the number of pages required for a table plus pages for
the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct (TCE table descriptor) itself.

This does not change the amount of (de)allocated memory.

Why abs(npages)?  Can npages be negative?  If so, what does that mean?


Leftover from older versions when there was one shared account_memlimit(long npages). It does not make sense here, I need to remove it.
