[PATCH v5 07/10] dma-buf: system_heap: Enforce shared-granule alignment for cc-shared buffers

The system heap can allocate buffers that are decrypted and shared with the
host. For confidential-computing guests, those shared buffers must cover
whole shared-buffer granule; otherwise a userspace mmap of the dma-buf may
expose only part of a host-managed granule and allow unintended access to
adjacent private memory.

Require cc-shared system-heap allocations to have a size aligned to
mem_cc_shared_granule_size(), and allocate pages at least as large as the
required granule. Keep the allocation bounded by the existing heap orders,
but fall back to an exact minimum-order allocation when the required
granule is not one of the preferred heap orders.
