Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: add a per-cpu cache to avoid lock contention

Precedence: bulk

Networking drivers very often have to replace one page with
another for their RX ring buffers.

A multi-queue NIC will severly hit a contention point
in dma-debug while grabbing free_entries_lock spinlock.

Adding a one entry per-cpu cache removes the need
to grab this spinlock twice per page replacement.

Tested on a 40Gbit mlx4 NIC, with 16 RX queues and about
1,000,000 replacements per second.
