```text
The amount of DMA mappings from Hisilicon HNS ethernet devices is huge,
so it could trigger "DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling".

hnae_get_handle [1]
  hnae_init_queue
    hnae_init_ring
      hnae_alloc_buffers [2]
        debug_dma_map_page
          dma_entry_alloc

[1] for (i = 0; i < handle->q_num; i++)
[2] for (i = 0; i < ring->desc_num; i++)

Also, "#define HNS_DSAF_MAX_DESC_CNT 1024"

On this Huawei TaiShan 2280 aarch64 server, it has reached the limit
already,

4 (NICs) x 16 (queues) x 1024 (port descption numbers) = 65536

Added a Kconfig entry for PREALLOC_DMA_DEBUG_ENTRIES, so make it easier
for users to deal with special cases like this.

Changes since v1:
* Increased the default value if has HNS_ENET suggested by Robin.
