Tested-by: Albert Esteve <[email protected]>

I tested the series with a Fedora VM, setting the global user.slice
dmem.max value and then trying to allocate buffers of different sizes
with DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC. Exceeding the max limit results in
'Resource temporarily unavailable' and the allocation fails.
