[PATCH kernel v2] swiotlb: Half the size if allocation failed

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@xxxxxxx>]

At the moment the AMD encrypted platform reserves 6% of RAM for SWIOTLB
or 1GB, whichever is less. However it is possible that there is no block
big enough in the low memory which make SWIOTLB allocation fail and
the kernel continues without DMA. In such case a VM hangs on DMA.

This moves alloc+remap to a helper and calls it from a loop where
the size is halved on each iteration.

This updates default_nslabs on successful allocation which looks like
an oversight as not doing so should have broken callers of
swiotlb_size_or_default().

Changes:
v2:
* moved alloc+remap to a helper as suggested
* removed "x86" and "amd" from subj

--
I hit the problem with
QEMU's "-m 16819M" where SWIOTLB was adjusted to
0x7e200 == 1,058,013,184 (slightly less than 1GB) while
0x7e180 still worked.

With guest errors enabled, there are many unassigned accesses from
virtio.
