Jan Beulich d9a688add3 swiotlb-xen: maintain slab count properly
Generic swiotlb code makes sure to keep the slab count a multiple of the
number of slabs per segment. Yet even without checking whether any such
assumption is made elsewhere, it is easy to see that xen_swiotlb_fixup()
might alter unrelated memory when calling xen_create_contiguous_region()
for the last segment, when that's not a full one - the function acts on
full order-N regions, not individual pages.

Align the slab count suitably when halving it for a retry. Add a build
time check and a runtime one. Replace the no longer useful local
variable "slabs" by an "order" one calculated just once, outside of the
loop. Re-use "order" for calculating "dma_bits", and change the type of
the latter as well as the one of "i" while touching this anyway.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
