vfio/mlx5: Allow loading of larger images than 512 MB

Allow loading of larger images than 512 MB by dropping the arbitrary
hard-coded value that we have today and move to use the max device
loading value which is for now 4GB.

As part of that we move to use the GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT option upon
allocating the persistent data of mlx5 and rely on the cgroup to provide
the memory limit for the given user.

The GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT option lets the memory allocator know that this
is untrusted allocation triggered from userspace and should be a subject
of kmem accounting, and as such it is controlled by the cgroup
mechanism.
