iommu/arm-smmu: Reintroduce locking around TLB sync operations Commit 523d7423e21b ("iommu/arm-smmu: Remove io-pgtable spinlock") removed the locking used to serialise map/unmap calls into the io-pgtable code from the ARM SMMU driver. This is good for performance, but opens us up to a nasty race with TLB syncs because the TLB sync register is shared within a context bank (or even globally for stage-2 on SMMUv1). There are two cases to consider: 1. A CPU can be spinning on the completion of a TLB sync, take an interrupt which issues a subsequent TLB sync, and then report a timeout on return from the interrupt. 2. A CPU can be spinning on the completion of a TLB sync, but other CPUs can continuously issue additional TLB syncs in such a way that the backoff logic reports a timeout. Rather than fix this by spinning for completion of prior TLB syncs before issuing a new one (which may suffer from fairness issues on large systems), instead reintroduce locking around TLB sync operations in the ARM SMMU driver.
