This commit message is not clear enough for something that need to be
backported:

RDMA/mlx5: Support non-page size aligned DMABUF mkeys

The mkey page size for DMABUF is fixed at PAGE_SIZE because we have to
support a move operation that could change a large-sized page list
into a small page-list and the mkey must be able to represent it.

The test for this is not quite correct, instead of checking the output
of mlx5_umem_find_best_pgsz() the call to ib_umem_find_best_pgsz
should specify the exact HW/SW restriction - only PAGE_SIZE is
accepted.

Then the normal logic for dealing with leading/trailing sub page
alignment works correctly and sub page size DMBUF mappings can be
supported.

This is particularly painful on 64K kernels.
