The vIOMMU cache_invalidate() and the nested-HWPT cache_invalidate_user()
ops are each handed the full user invalidation array and must report, via
array->entry_num, how many of its entries they handled. That makes every
driver open-code the same array walk, with real downsides:

 - each driver carries its own loop and sub-array bookkeeping;
 - the ARM SMMUv3 driver allocates a buffer sized to the whole array just
   to iterate over it;
 - hand-rolling the loop left the ARM SMMUv3 driver with two long-standing
   bugs:
    1) on a conversion failure it counts commands that it converted but
       never issued, so user space skips invalidations that never reached
       the cmdq;
    2) it rejects a zero-length array, which the uAPI documents as a valid
       request that only probes the data type.

The walk is identical for every driver, so move it into the iommufd core.

The core now drives the iteration:

 - it invokes the op on a sub-array starting at the first not-yet-handled
   entry;
 - the op handles one chunk from the front of that sub-array and reports
   the count via array->entry_num;
 - the core advances and re-invokes until the whole array is consumed or
   the op returns an error.

A driver then only has to handle one bounded chunk per call, e.g. the ARM
SMMUv3 op copies a single cmdq batch into a fixed on-stack buffer and drops
its whole-array allocation. An op still handling the entire array in one
call keeps working, so each driver converts independently.

All the bugs fixed here are long-standing ones rather than regressions in
this cycle, so the series targets for-next, not for-rc. The stable tags on
the first two patches take care of the backports.

[Note to Jason and Will]
This has some conflicts with Ashish's ARM_SMMU_OPT_REPEAT_TLBI_CFGI series:

Changelog
v4
 * Add "Reviewed-by" from Baolu and Pranjal
 * Split the DS support out of the reject patch into a new patch-1,
   also listing DS in the iommu_hw_info_arm_smmuv3 kdoc
 * Patch-2: Add "!!" to the bool range assignment
 * Patch-2: Factor the allowlist into arm_vsmmu_validate_user_cmd()
v3
 https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1783539724.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/
 * Patch-1: Add a minimal FEAT_DS detection and allow the two DS-only
   range encodings on a DS-capable SMMU
 * Patch-1: Mask the host's scale value to keep its 5-bit truncation
v2
 https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1783539724.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/
 * Add "Reviewed-by" from Kevin to patches 2-5
 * Patch-1: Allow the ATC_INV Global bit gated on ssid_bits, correcting
   the wrong every-device claim: per the spec it only broadens a single
   device's invalidation across its PASIDs
 * Patch-1: Move the FEAT_ATS check into the allowlist switch
 * Patch-1: Gate the TTL range field on FEAT_RANGE_INV too
 * Patch-1: Accept only asid_bits of the ASID field
 * Patch-1: Reject Reserved range field value combinations
 * Patch-1: Reject an ATC_INV Size above 52
 * Patch-1: Add local smmu and data variables to simplify the long lines
 * Patch-1: Document the valid-command contract in the uAPI header
 * Patch-1: Note that unchecked out-of-range values are UNPREDICTABLE
 * Patch-1: Note that SSID/Global are IGNORED, not RES0, when SSV == 0
 * Patch-2: Consolidate the two invalidation loops into one
 * Patch-2: Multiply by the size_t entry_len to avoid a u32 overflow
 * Patch-3/5: Return 0 directly on a zero-length array
 * Patch-4: Use a processed counter and an out label like the mock driver
v1
