iommu/iova: Add flush counters to Flush-Queue implementation
There are two counters:
* fq_flush_start_cnt - Increased when a TLB flush
is started.
* fq_flush_finish_cnt - Increased when a TLB flush
is finished.
The fq_flush_start_cnt is assigned to every Flush-Queue
entry on its creation. When freeing entries from the
Flush-Queue, the value in the entry is compared to the
fq_flush_finish_cnt. The entry can only be freed when its
value is less than the value of fq_flush_finish_cnt.
The reason for these counters it to take advantage of IOMMU
TLB flushes that happened on other CPUs. These already
flushed the TLB for Flush-Queue entries on other CPUs so
that they can already be freed without flushing the TLB
again.
This makes it less likely that the Flush-Queue is full and
saves IOMMU TLB flushes.
