When calling arch_sync_dma, we need to pass it the memory that's
actually being used for dma. When using swiotlb bounce buffers, this is
the bounce buffer. Move arch_sync_dma into the __iommu_dma_map_swiotlb
helper, so it can use the bounce buffer address if necessary. This also
means it is no longer necessary to call iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_device in
iommu_dma_map_sg for untrusted devices.

Fixes: 82612d66d51d ("iommu: Allow the dma-iommu api to use bounce buffers")

Make that an "else if" - otherwise you're just reintroducing the same
thing that the third hunk is trying to clean up.

swiotlb_tbl_map_single only copies into the swiotlb buffer, it doesn't
do any architectural syncing. So this block is necessary in the
swiotlb case as well, for iommu_dma_map_page to work properly.

Urgh, apologies again - I had a mental short-circuit and was convinced that the SWIOTLB call already did its own cache maintenance. I really should have learned by now not to review fiddly patches like these while tired...
The third chunk is a separate optimization, so I'll split it out into
its own patch.

It's still a logical part of this change - cleaning up the potentially wrong sync while you make sure the right one happens. Even more so if you make the fix the better way by having iommu_dma_map_sg_swiotlb() call iommu_dma_map_page().

Robin.
