iommu/vt-d: Force to flush iotlb before creating superpage

The translation caches may preserve obsolete data when the
mapping size is changed, suppose the following sequence which
can reveal the problem with high probability.

1.mmap(4GB,MAP_HUGETLB)
2.
  while (1) {
   (a)    DMA MAP   0,0xa0000
   (b)    DMA UNMAP 0,0xa0000
   (c)    DMA MAP   0,0xc0000000
             * DMA read IOVA 0 may failure here (Not present)
             * if the problem occurs.
   (d)    DMA UNMAP 0,0xc0000000
  }

The page table(only focus on IOVA 0) after (a) is:
 PML4: 0x19db5c1003   entry:0xffff899bdcd2f000
  PDPE: 0x1a1cacb003  entry:0xffff89b35b5c1000
   PDE: 0x1a30a72003  entry:0xffff89b39cacb000
    PTE: 0x21d200803  entry:0xffff89b3b0a72000

The page table after (b) is:
 PML4: 0x19db5c1003   entry:0xffff899bdcd2f000
  PDPE: 0x1a1cacb003  entry:0xffff89b35b5c1000
   PDE: 0x1a30a72003  entry:0xffff89b39cacb000
    PTE: 0x0          entry:0xffff89b3b0a72000

The page table after (c) is:
 PML4: 0x19db5c1003   entry:0xffff899bdcd2f000
  PDPE: 0x1a1cacb003  entry:0xffff89b35b5c1000
   PDE: 0x21d200883   entry:0xffff89b39cacb000 (*)

Because the PDE entry after (b) is present, it won't be
flushed even if the iommu driver flush cache when unmap,
so the obsolete data may be preserved in cache, which
would cause the wrong translation at end.

However, we can see the PDE entry is finally switch to
2M-superpage mapping, but it does not transform
to 0x21d200883 directly:

1. PDE: 0x1a30a72003
2. __domain_mapping
     dma_pte_free_pagetable
       Set the PDE entry to ZERO
     Set the PDE entry to 0x21d200883

So we must flush the cache after the entry switch to ZERO
to avoid the obsolete info be preserved.
