In some rare cases, IO operations may be not aligned to page
boundaries. This prevents iser from performing fast memory
registration. In order to overcome that iser uses a bounce
buffer to carry the transaction. We basically allocate a buffer
in the size of the transaction and perform a copy.

The buffer allocation using kmalloc is too restrictive since it
requires higher order (atomic) allocations for large transactions
(which may result in memory exhaustion fairly fast for some workloads).
We rewrite the bounce buffer code path to allocate scattered pages
and perform a copy between the transaction sg and the bounce sg.

In singleton scatterlists, DMA memory registration code
is taken both for Fastreg and FMR code paths. Move it to
a function.

Instead of passing ib_sge as output variable, we pass the mem_reg
pointer to have the routines fill the rkey as well. This reduces
code duplication and extra assignments. This is a preparation step
to unify some registration logics together. Also, pass iser_fast_reg_mr
the fastreg descriptor directly.

No need to keep lkey, va, len variables, we can keep
them as struct ib_sge. This will help when we change the
memory registration logic.

Memory regions are resources that are saved
in the device caches. Increase the probability for
a cache hit by adding the MRU descriptor to pool
head.

Instead of open-coding connection fastreg pool get/put,
we introduce iser_reg_desc[get|put] helpers.

We aren't setting these static as this will be a per-device
routine later on. Also, cleanup iser_unreg_rdma_mem_fastreg
a bit.

No need for these two separate. Keep it in a single routine
like in the fastreg case. This will also make iser_reg_page_vec
closer to iser_fast_reg_mr arguments. This is a preparation
step for registration flow refactor.

make iser_reg_page_vec routine static.
