Currently, virtio_pci_queue_mem_mult function always returns 4K
when VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_PAGE_PER_VQ is set. But this won't
work for vhost vdpa when host has page size other than 4K.
This patch introduces a new property(host-page-per-vq) for vdpa
use case to fix the same.

Signed-off-by: Srujana Challa <schalla@marvell.com>

v2->v3:
- Modified property name, page-per-vdpa-vq to host-page-per-vq.

v1->v2:
- Introduced a new property to get virtqueue mem multiplier for
  vdpa use case.

Per our coding style, this code should use braces:

Looks good. I'd like to fail realize if both 
   (proxy->flags & VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_PAGE_PER_VQ)
and
   (proxy->flags & VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_HOST_PAGE_PER_VQ)
so users do not start depending on this combination.

Could you confirm if we can add assertion for this case in virtio_pci_mem_mult() function?

No, reporting an error would be better since it's user-triggerable -
it is not nice to report user errors through assertions,
assertions are for conditions that can not be reached.

Yes, but returning error from virtio_pci_queue_mem_mult() would need changes
In multiple places right?
