[PATCH v2] nvme: Cache DMA descriptors to prevent corruption.

[Tom Roeder]

This patch changes the NVMe PCI implementation to cache host_mem_descs
in non-DMA memory instead of depending on descriptors stored in DMA
memory. This change is needed under the malicious-hypervisor threat
model assumed by the AMD SEV and Intel TDX architectures, which encrypt
guest memory to make it unreadable. Some versions of these architectures
also make it cryptographically hard to modify guest memory without
detection.

On these architectures, Linux generally leaves DMA memory unencrypted so
that devices can still communicate directly with the kernel: DMA memory
remains readable to and modifiable by devices. This means that this
memory is also accessible to a hypervisor.

However, this means that a malicious hypervisor could modify the addr or
size fields of descriptors and cause the NVMe driver to call
dma_free_attrs on arbitrary addresses or on the right addresses but with
the wrong size. To prevent this attack, this commit changes the code to
cache those descriptors in non-DMA memory and to use the cached values
when freeing the memory they describe.

Tested: Built and ran with Google-internal NVMe tests.

Changes from v1:
- Use native integers instead of __le{32,64} for the addr and size.
- Rename added fields/variables for better consistency.
- Make comment style consistent with other comments in pci.c.
