iommu: Remove SVM_FLAG_SUPERVISOR_MODE support

The current kernel DMA with PASID support is based on the SVA with a flag
SVM_FLAG_SUPERVISOR_MODE. The IOMMU driver binds the kernel memory address
space to a PASID of the device. The device driver programs the device with
kernel virtual address (KVA) for DMA access. There have been security and
functional issues with this approach:

- The lack of IOTLB synchronization upon kernel page table updates.
  (vmalloc, module/BPF loading, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC etc.)
- Other than slight more protection, using kernel virtual address (KVA)
  has little advantage over physical address. There are also no use
  cases yet where DMA engines need kernel virtual addresses for in-kernel
  DMA.

This removes SVM_FLAG_SUPERVISOR_MODE support from the IOMMU interface.
The device drivers are suggested to handle kernel DMA with PASID through
the kernel DMA APIs.

The drvdata parameter in iommu_sva_bind_device() and all callbacks is not
needed anymore. Cleanup them as well.
