[PATCH v4 8/8] dma-buf: heaps: system: Turn the heap into a module

The system heap can be easily turned into a module by adding the usual
MODULE_* macros, importing the proper namespaces and changing the
Kconfig symbol to a tristate.

This heap won't be able to unload though, since we're missing a lot of
infrastructure to make it safe.

Choose this option to enable the system dmabuf heap. The system heap
is backed by pages from the buddy allocator. If in doubt, say Y.
