vfio/type1: Reduce repetitive calls in vfio_pin_pages_remote()
vfio_pin_pages_remote() is typically called to iterate over a range of memory. Testing CAP_IPC_LOCK is relatively expensive, so it makes sense to push it up to the caller, which can then repeatedly call vfio_pin_pages_remote() using that value. This can show nearly a 20% improvement on the worst case path through VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA with contiguous page mapping disabled. Testing RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is much more lightweight, but we bring it along on the same principle and it does seem to show a marginal improvement.
