dma-mapping: add benchmark support for streaming DMA APIs



Nowadays, there are increasing requirements to benchmark the performance
of dma_map and dma_unmap particually while the device is attached to an
IOMMU.

This patch enables the support. Users can run specified number of threads
to do dma_map_page and dma_unmap_page on a specific NUMA node with the
specified duration. Then dma_map_benchmark will calculate the average
latency for map and unmap.

A difficulity for this benchmark is that dma_map/unmap APIs must run on
a particular device. Each device might have different backend of IOMMU or
non-IOMMU.

So we use the driver_override to bind dma_map_benchmark to a particual
device by:
For platform devices:
echo dma_map_benchmark > /sys/bus/platform/devices/xxx/driver_override
echo xxx > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/xxx/unbind
echo xxx > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dma_map_benchmark/bind

For PCI devices:
echo dma_map_benchmark > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:01.0/driver_override
echo 0000:00:01.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xxx/unbind
echo 0000:00:01.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/dma_map_benchmark/bind
