[PATCH v4 1/3] dma-buf: heaps: Add deferred-free-helper library code

[John Stultz]

This patch provides infrastructure for deferring buffer frees.

This is a feature ION provided which when used with some form
of a page pool, provides a nice performance boost in an
allocation microbenchmark. The reason it helps is it allows the
page-zeroing to be done out of the normal allocation/free path,
and pushed off to a kthread.

As not all heaps will find this useful, its implemented as
a optional helper library that heaps can utilize.

v2:
* Fix sleep in atomic issue from using a mutex, by switching
  to a spinlock as Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx>
* Cleanup API to use a reason enum for clarity and add some documentation
  comments as suggested by Suren Baghdasaryan.

v3:
* Minor tweaks so it can be built as a module
* A few small fixups suggested by Daniel Mentz

v4:
* Tweak from Daniel Mentz to make sure the shrinker
  count/freed values are tracked in pages not bytes
