iommu/arm-smmu: Optimize ->tlb_flush_walk() for qcom implementation



Currently for iommu_unmap() of large scatter-gather list with page size
elements, the majority of time is spent in flushing of partial walks in
__arm_lpae_unmap() which is a VA based TLB invalidation invalidating
page-by-page on iommus like arm-smmu-v2 (TLBIVA).

For example: to unmap a 32MB scatter-gather list with page size elements
(8192 entries), there are 16->2MB buffer unmaps based on the pgsize (2MB
for 4K granule) and each of 2MB will further result in 512 TLBIVAs (2MB/4K)
resulting in a total of 8192 TLBIVAs (512*16) for 16->2MB causing a huge
overhead.

On qcom implementation, there are several performance improvements for
TLB cache invalidations in HW like wait-for-safe (for realtime clients
such as camera and display) and few others to allow for cache
lookups/updates when TLBI is in progress for the same context bank.
So the cost of over-invalidation is less compared to the unmap latency
on several usecases like camera which deals with large buffers. So,
ASID based TLB invalidations (TLBIASID) can be used to invalidate the
entire context for partial walk flush thereby improving the unmap
latency.

For this example of 32MB scatter-gather list unmap, this change results
in just 16 ASID based TLB invalidations (TLBIASIDs) as opposed to 8192
TLBIVAs thereby increasing the performance of unmaps drastically.

Test on QTI SM8150 SoC for 10 iterations of iommu_{map_sg}/unmap:
(average over 10 iterations)

Before this optimization:

    size        iommu_map_sg      iommu_unmap
      4K            2.067 us         1.854 us
     64K            9.598 us         8.802 us
      1M          148.890 us       130.718 us
      2M          305.864 us        67.291 us
     12M         1793.604 us       390.838 us
     16M         2386.848 us       518.187 us
     24M         3563.296 us       775.989 us
     32M         4747.171 us      1033.364 us

After this optimization:

    size        iommu_map_sg      iommu_unmap
      4K            1.723 us         1.765 us
     64K            9.880 us         8.869 us
      1M          155.364 us       135.223 us
      2M          303.906 us         5.385 us
     12M         1786.557 us        21.250 us
     16M         2391.890 us        27.437 us
     24M         3570.895 us        39.937 us
     32M         4755.234 us        51.797 us

Real world data also shows big difference in unmap performance as below:

There were reports of camera frame drops because of high overhead in
iommu unmap without this optimization because of frequent unmaps issued
by camera of about 100MB/s taking more than 100ms thereby causing frame
drops.
