devmem only needs fixed-size net_iov allocations for each dma-buf binding. The gen_pool tracks the same free set indirectly through DMA addresses, which makes devmem depend on the generic allocator even though the users are fixed-size net_iov chunks. Mirror the io_uring zcrx model more closely by keeping a binding-level freelist protected by spin_lock_bh(). Use a single net_iov_area owner for the binding, populate each net_iov's DMA address while walking the SG table, and check at teardown that all net_iovs have returned to the freelist. Validate the DMA-BUF size against the net_iov size up front and derive the RX and TX entry count from it, avoiding a separate SG-table pass. Drop the NET_DEVMEM select of GENERIC_ALLOCATOR now that devmem no longer calls gen_pool APIs.
