[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 3/3] intel-iommu: IOTLB hang workaround

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2 at infradead.org>

To work around a hardware issue, we have to submit IOTLB flushes while
the graphics engine is idle. The graphics driver will go to great
lengths to ensure that it gets that right on the affected chipset(s)...
so let's not screw it over by deferring the unmap and doing it later.
That wouldn't be very helpful.
