[PATCH] drm/msm: Check for the GPU IOMMU during bind

While booting with amd,imageon on a headless target the GPU probe was
failing with -ENOSPC in get_pages() from msm_gem.c.

Investigation showed that the driver was using the default 16MB VRAM
carveout because msm_use_mmu() was returning false since headless devices
use a dummy parent device. Avoid this by extending the existing is_a2xx
priv member to check the GPU IOMMU state on all platforms and use that
check in msm_use_mmu().

This works for memory allocations but it doesn't prevent the VRAM carveout
from being created because that happens before we have a chance to check
the GPU IOMMU state in adreno_bind.

There are a number of possible options to resolve this but none of them are
very clean. The easiest way is to likely specify vram=0 as module parameter
on headless devices so that the memory doesn't get wasted.
