struct gntdev_copy_batch is over 1300 bytes in size, we shouldn't

Some compilers (e.g. 5.2.1) complain:
drivers/xen/gntdev.c: In function ‘gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy.isra.5’:
drivers/xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1416 bytes
is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
I thought I'd already reduced the size of this enough (from a batch size
of 32 to 24) but this obviously isn't enough for 64-bit platforms.
In the absence of any performance data on the best approach I would
prefer just reducing the batch size to 16.
That would still leave us with over 900 bytes on the stack which I think
is rather high.
Do we expect this ioctl to be on some sort of a hot path?
