[PATCH v4] dma/swiotlb: decouple high watermark tracking from CONFIG_DEBUG_FS

From: chenhuguanshen <[email protected]>

Under heavy concurrent DMA traffic on CoCo VMs, inc_used_and_hiwater()
performs an atomic_long_add_return() plus a CAS loop on the global
used_hiwater, and dec_used() performs an atomic_long_sub() on total_used.
All CPUs contend on the same cacheline, causing measurable throughput
degradation at scale.

Historically these counters were only compiled in under CONFIG_DEBUG_FS,
which means production kernels with debugfs paid the atomic overhead
unconditionally. Make the tracking boot-time opt-in instead so that it
is disabled by default with near-zero overhead via static_call, and can
be enabled via "swiotlb=track_hiwater" parameter on demand for debugging.

Note that when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled but hiwater tracking is disabled,
the "io_tlb_used" metric reports an approximate value rather than an
instantaneously exact one.

v1 -> v2:
 - Change the patch title.
 - Doing the exact hiwater calculation is dynamic and defaults to "off",
   dynamic config would replace being under #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
 - The mechanism used for dynamic config needs to be one that is selectable
   on the kernel boot line so that the exact hiwater mark during boot is
   easily available.

v2 -> v3:
 - When track_hiwater is enabled, we keep the original precise hiwater
   calculation backed by the global total_used atomic counter. If disabled,
   we switch to the approximate approach that sums per-area counters to
   derive the total used slot count.

v3 -> v4:
 - Change commit message and documentation.
