Peter Daifuku a331fd4b3a gpu: nvgpu: pd_cache enablement for >4k allocations in qnx ...

Mapping of large buffers to GMMU end up needing many
pages for the PTE tables. Allocating these one by one
can end up being a performance bottleneck, particularly
in the virtualized case.

This is adding the following changes:

 - As the TLB invalidation doesn't have access to mem_off,
   allow top-level allocation by alloc_cache_direct().
 - Define NVGPU_PD_CACHE_SIZE, the allocation size for a new slab
   for the PD cache, effectively set to 64K bytes
 - Use the PD cache for any allocation < NVGPU_PD_CACHE_SIZE
   When freeing up cached entries, avoid prefetch errors by
   invalidating the entry (memset to 0).
 - Try to fall back to direct allocation of smaller chunk for
   contiguous allocation failures.
 - Unit test changes.
