iommu/amd: Use cmpxchg_double() when updating 128-bit IRTE



When using 128-bit interrupt-remapping table entry (IRTE) (a.k.a GA mode),
current driver disables interrupt remapping when it updates the IRTE
so that the upper and lower 64-bit values can be updated safely.

However, this creates a small window, where the interrupt could
arrive and result in IO_PAGE_FAULT (for interrupt) as shown below.

  IOMMU Driver            Device IRQ
  ============            ===========
  irte.RemapEn=0
       ...
   change IRTE            IRQ from device ==> IO_PAGE_FAULT !!
       ...
  irte.RemapEn=1

This scenario has been observed when changing irq affinity on a system
running I/O-intensive workload, in which the destination APIC ID
in the IRTE is updated.

Instead, use cmpxchg_double() to update the 128-bit IRTE at once without
disabling the interrupt remapping. However, this means several features,
which require GA (128-bit IRTE) support will also be affected if cmpxchg16b
is not supported (which is unprecedented for AMD processors w/ IOMMU).
