Jens Axboe ac3dd5bd12 NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO
Currently we allocate an nvme_iod for each IO, which holds the
sg list, prps, and other IO related info. Set a threshold of
2 pages and/or 8KB of data, below which we can just embed this
in the per-command pdu in blk-mq. For any IO at or below
NVME_INT_PAGES and NVME_INT_BYTES, we save a kmalloc and kfree.

For higher IOPS, this saves up to 1% of CPU time.
