dma-debug: change hash_bucket_find from first-fit to best-fit
Some device drivers map the same physical address multiple times to a
dma address. Without an IOMMU this results in the same dma address being
put into the dma-debug hash multiple times. With a first-fit match in
hash_bucket_find() this function may return the wrong dma_debug_entry.
This can result in false positive warnings. This patch fixes it by
changing the first-fit behavior of hash_bucket_find() into a best-fit
algorithm.
