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.
