[RFC PATCH v7 12/13] dma-buf: system_heap: Allocate shared buffers using CoCo shared memory allocator

The system_cc_shared heap currently allocates its backing pages using the
normal system-heap order policy and changes each resulting compound page to
shared state. That is unsafe when an architecture requires state changes in
units larger than PAGE_SIZE: an order-0 tail is neither sufficiently aligned
nor large enough to transition independently.

Use the common CoCo shared-page allocator for every backing allocation of the
shared heap. Preserve the existing preferred-order search and its GFP policy:
each candidate order is passed to the common allocator as a byte request, and
that allocator rounds it up when the architecture shared granule is larger.

Add __GFP_COMP for shared allocations because an order-0 candidate can
be rounded into a high-order allocation. The system heap uses
compound_order() and page_size() for accounting and release, so the
returned allocation must retain compound-page semantics.

Calculate a rounded internal backing length but retain the original
length in dma_buf::size. The preceding scatterlist-length change ensures
that the rounded tail is not included in DMA mappings or other
operations. This permits a 4 KiB request on a 64 KiB shared-granule
system without exposing the extra 60 KiB to an importer.
