iommu/arm-smmu: use mutex instead of spinlock for locking page tables
commit a44a9791e778d9ccda50d5534028ed4057a9a45b upstream. When creating IO mappings, we lazily allocate our page tables using the standard, non-atomic allocator functions. This presents us with a problem, since our page tables are protected with a spinlock. This patch reworks the smmu_domain lock to use a mutex instead of a spinlock. iova_to_phys is then reworked so that it only reads the page tables, and can run in a lockless fashion, leaving the mutex to guard against concurrent mapping threads.
