I'm now having a second thought about it. We don't need to care about
that scenario at all because it's a software-design defect of the
upstream Host1x driver that it maps gathers dynamically. The defect can
be fixed and then the potential problem won't exist at all.

Neither of the drivers that are using Tegra SMMU need the IOMMU mapping
operations to be performed under spinlock, so mutex will be good a
variant. I'll make a v2 with a mutex, thank you for the suggestion.
