The upper bound of veventq_depth has been missing for veventq allocation,
leaving a vulnerability where userspace could exhaust atomic memory pool.

Fix it properly:
 - Allocate outside the spinlock to avoid GFP_ATOMIC
 - Cap the veventq_depth upper bound
 - Fix event_data byte-count
 - Add selftest coverage

Note that QEMU's SMMU has been already allocating veventq using a "HW"
EVTQ entry number. So, picking 19 as the known use case, for a minimal
level of ABI consistency.

This is on github:

Changelog:
v2
 * Add Reviewed-by from Jason
 * Rebase on Jason's for-rc tree
 * Update commit message for clarification
 * Move "data_len byte-count" to the first
 * Drop optimistic read in the allocation path
v1
