[PATCH v4 1/2] iommu: Allow passing custom allocators to pgtable drivers

This will be useful for GPU drivers who want to keep page tables in a
pool so they can:
- keep freed page tables in a free pool and speed-up upcoming page
table allocations
- batch page table allocation instead of allocating one page at a time
- pre-reserve pages for page tables needed for map/unmap operations,
to ensure map/unmap operations don't try to allocate memory in paths
they're allowed to block or fail
It might also be valuable for other aspects of GPU and similar
use-cases, like fine-grained memory accounting and resource limiting.
We will extend the Arm LPAE format to support custom allocators in a
separate commit.

v4:
- Add Gaurav's R-b/T-b
v3:
- Add Robin R-b
- Move caps definition around
- Add extra constraints to the ->alloc() callback documentation
v2:
- Add Steven R-b
- Expand on possible use-cases for custom allocators
- Add a caps fields to io_pgtable_init_fns so we can simplify the
check_custom_allocator() logic (Robin Murphy)
