lightnvm: dynamic DMA pool entry size
Currently lightnvm and pblk uses single DMA pool, for which the entry
size always is equal to PAGE_SIZE. The contents of each entry allocated
from the DMA pool consists of a PPA list (8bytes * 64), leaving
56bytes * 64 space for metadata. Since the metadata field can be bigger,
such as 128 bytes, the static size does not cover this use-case.
This patch adds support for I/O metadata above 56 bytes by changing DMA
pool size based on device meta size and allows pblk to use OOB metadata
>=16B.
