iommu/arm-smmu: really fix page table locking
Commit a44a9791 ("iommu/arm-smmu: use mutex instead of spinlock for locking page tables") replaced the page table spinlock with a mutex, to allow blocking allocations to satisfy lazy mapping requests. Unfortunately, it turns out that IOMMU mappings are created from atomic context (e.g. spinlock held during a dma_map), so this change doesn't really help us in practice. This patch is a partial revert of the offending commit, bringing back the original spinlock but replacing our page table allocations for any levels below the pgd (which is allocated during domain init) with GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL.
