nvme-pci: make PRP list DMA pools per-NUMA-node

NVMe commands with over 8 KB of discontiguous data allocate PRP list
pages from the per-nvme_device dma_pool prp_page_pool or prp_small_pool.
Each call to dma_pool_alloc() and dma_pool_free() takes the per-dma_pool
spinlock. These device-global spinlocks are a significant source of
contention when many CPUs are submitting to the same NVMe devices. On a
workload issuing 32 KB reads from 16 CPUs (8 hypertwin pairs) across 2
NUMA nodes to 23 NVMe devices, we observed 2.4% of CPU time spent in
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave called from dma_pool_alloc and dma_pool_free.

Ideally, the dma_pools would be per-hctx to minimize contention. But
that could impose considerable resource costs in a system with many NVMe
devices and CPUs.

As a compromise, allocate per-NUMA-node PRP list DMA pools. Map each
nvme_queue to the set of DMA pools corresponding to its device and its
hctx's NUMA node. This reduces the _raw_spin_lock_irqsave overhead by
about half, to 1.2%. Preventing the sharing of PRP list pages across
NUMA nodes also makes them cheaper to initialize.
