Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm) a6e40900f0 dma-mapping: Add internal shared allocation attribute
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED describes an existing DMA mapping whose backing memory
is already shared, or decrypted, for confidential computing. It is a
mapping attribute: callers use it to request a shared DMA address encoding
for memory that has already been prepared for shared DMA.

Allocation paths need a related but different state. Once the DMA core
decides that an allocation must use shared backing pages, the lower-level
allocation helpers need to select shared pools, decrypt newly allocated
pages, derive the DMA address with the shared-memory translation and
restore encryption on free. That state is internal to the DMA-mapping
implementation and should not be passed by drivers to dma_alloc_attrs().
