dma_pool_free() scales poorly when the pool contains many pages because
pool_find_page() does a linear scan of all allocated pages. Improve its
scalability by replacing the linear scan with virt_to_page() and storing
dmapool private data directly in 'struct page', thereby eliminating
'struct dma_page'. In big O notation, this improves the algorithm from
O(n^2) to O(n) while also reducing memory usage.
Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for the suggestion to use struct page.
