Still not too happy, but at least debugfs is an interfact we could
remove at any time.
But can you please factor the used_hiwater accounting into two
separate helpers that are udner CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and otherwise
stubbed out, instead of adding the logic directly into
swiotlb_do_find_slots and swiotlb_release_slots?
