vlib: pre-alloc dma backend batches

Allocate and initialize dma batch structure when adding dma config.
The number of required dma batches is set by max_batches parameter.
Thus dma batches are not allocated dynamically in worker thread.
Application need to check the return value of vlib_dma_batch_new.

Type: improvement
