With the introduction of the batch hinting, meaningless batches can be
created with no IOTLB updates if the memory region was skipped by
vhost_vdpa_listener_skipped_section. This is the case of host notifiers
memory regions, device un/realize, and others. This causes the vdpa
device to receive dma mapping settings with no changes, a possibly
expensive operation for nothing.
To avoid that, VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_BEGIN hint is delayed until we have a
meaningful (not skipped section) mapping or unmapping operation, and
VHOST_IOTLB_BATCH_END is not written unless at least one of _UPDATE /
_INVALIDATE has been issued.
v3:
* Use a bool instead of a counter avoiding potential number wrapping
* Fix bad check on _commit
* Move VHOST_BACKEND_F_IOTLB_BATCH check to
vhost_vdpa_iotlb_batch_begin_once
v2 (from RFC):
* Rename misleading name
* Abstract start batching function for listener_add/del
