[PATCH v3] powerpc/pseries/svm: Allocate SWIOTLB buffer anywhere in memory

POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protection Execution
Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the hypervisor, but
they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low addresses since the
hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation.

This solves a SWIOTLB initialization problem we are seeing in secure guests
with 128 GB of RAM: they are configured with 4 GB of crashkernel reserved
memory, which leaves no space for SWIOTLB in low addresses.

To do this, we use mostly the same code as swiotlb_init(), but allocate the
buffer using memblock_alloc() instead of memblock_alloc_low().

Changes from v2:
- Panic if unable to allocate buffer, as suggested by Christoph.

Changes from v1:
- Open-code swiotlb_init() in arch-specific code, as suggested by
  Christoph.
