block/nvme: Fix VFIO_MAP_DMA failed: No space left on device 

When the NVMe block driver was introduced (see commit bdd6a90a9e,
January 2018), Linux VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl was only returning
-ENOMEM in case of error. The driver was correctly handling the
error path to recycle its volatile IOVA mappings.

To fix CVE-2019-3882, Linux commit 492855939bdb ("vfio/type1: Limit
DMA mappings per container", April 2019) added the -ENOSPC error to
signal the user exhausted the DMA mappings available for a container.

The block driver started to mis-behave:

  qemu-system-x86_64: VFIO_MAP_DMA failed: No space left on device
  (qemu)
  (qemu) info status
  VM status: paused (io-error)
  (qemu) c
  VFIO_MAP_DMA failed: No space left on device
  (qemu) c
  VFIO_MAP_DMA failed: No space left on device

(The VM is not resumable from here, hence stuck.)

Fix by handling the new -ENOSPC error (when DMA mappings are
exhausted) without any distinction to the current -ENOMEM error,
so we don't change the behavior on old kernels where the CVE-2019-3882
fix is not present.

An easy way to reproduce this bug is to restrict the DMA mapping
limit (65535 by default) when loading the VFIO IOMMU module:

  # modprobe vfio_iommu_type1 dma_entry_limit=666
