dma_pool_free() scales poorly when the pool contains many pages because
pool_find_page() does a linear scan of all allocated pages. Improve its
scalability by replacing the linear scan with a red-black tree lookup.
In big O notation, this improves the algorithm from O(n) to O(log n).

Changes since v5:
pool_free_page() no longer exists.
Less churn in dma_pool_destroy().
Updated big O usage in description.
