This patch converts several swiotlb related variables to arrays, in
order to maintain stat/status for different swiotlb buffers. Here are
variables involved:

- io_tlb_start and io_tlb_end
- io_tlb_nslabs and io_tlb_used
- io_tlb_list
- io_tlb_index
- max_segment
- io_tlb_orig_addr
- no_iotlb_memory

There is no functional change and this is to prepare to enable 64-bit
swiotlb.
Claire Chang (on Cc) already posted a patch like this a month ago,
which looks much better because it actually uses a struct instead
of all the random variables.
