intel-iommu: Fix leaks in pagetable freeing
At best the current code only seems to free the leaf pagetables and
the root. If you're unlucky enough to have a large gap (like any
QEMU guest with more than 3G of memory), only the first chunk of leaf
pagetables are freed (plus the root). This is a massive memory leak.
This patch re-writes the pagetable freeing function to use a
recursive algorithm and manages to not only free all the pagetables,
but does it without any apparent performance loss versus the current
broken version.
