RDMA/uverbs: Add DMABUF object type and operations

Expose DMABUF functionality to userspace through the uverbs interface,
enabling InfiniBand/RDMA devices to export PCI based memory regions
(e.g. device memory) as DMABUF file descriptors. This allows
zero-copy sharing of RDMA memory with other subsystems that support the
dma-buf framework.

A new UVERBS_OBJECT_DMABUF object type and allocation method were
introduced.

During allocation, uverbs invokes the driver to supply the
rdma_user_mmap_entry associated with the given page offset (pgoff).

Based on the returned rdma_user_mmap_entry, uverbs requests the driver
to provide the corresponding physical-memory details as well as the
driver’s PCI provider information.

Using this information, dma_buf_export() is called; if it succeeds,
uobj->object is set to the underlying file pointer returned by the
dma-buf framework.

The file descriptor number follows the standard uverbs allocation flow,
but the file pointer comes from the dma-buf subsystem, including its own
fops and private data.

When an mmap entry is removed, uverbs iterates over its associated
DMABUFs, marks them as revoked, and calls dma_buf_move_notify() so that
their importers are notified.

The same procedure applies during the disassociate flow; final cleanup
occurs when the application closes the file.
