[ofa-general] [RFC/PATCH 1/2] RDMA/cxgb3: Don't add PBL memory to gen_pool in chunks

Current iw_cxgb3 code adds PBL memory to the driver's gen_pool in 2 MB
chunks.  This limits the largest single allocation that can be done to
the same size, which means that with 4 KB pages, each of which takes 8
bytes of PBL memory, the largest memory region that can be allocated
is 1 GB (256K PBL entries * 4 KB/entry).

Remove this limit by adding all the PBL memory in a single gen_pool
chunk, if possible.  Add code that falls back to smaller chunks if
gen_pool_add() fails, which can happen if there is not sufficient
contiguous lowmem for the internal gen_pool bitmap.
