iommu/amd: Fix race in increase_address_space()



After the conversion to lock-less dma-api call the
increase_address_space() function can be called without any
locking. Multiple CPUs could potentially race for increasing
the address space, leading to invalid domain->mode settings
and invalid page-tables. This has been happening in the wild
under high IO load and memory pressure.

Fix the race by locking this operation. The function is
called infrequently so that this does not introduce
a performance regression in the dma-api path again.
