Export alloc_iova_fast() and free_iova_fast() so that
some modules can make use of the per-CPU cache to get
rid of rbtree spinlock in alloc_iova() and free_iova()

JFYI, There was a preliminary discussion to move the iova rcache code (which the iova fast alloc and free functions are based on) out of the iova code and maybe into dma-iommu (being the only user). There was other motivation.

Having more users complicates that...

Thanks,
