The current __arm_lpae_unmap() function calls dma_sync() on individual
PTEs after clearing them. Overall unmap performance can be improved by
around 25% for large buffer sizes by combining the syncs for adjacent
leaf entries.
Optimize the unmap time by clearing all the leaf entries and issuing a
single dma_sync() for them.
Below is detailed analysis of average unmap latency(in us) with and
without this optimization obtained by running dma_map_benchmark for
different buffer sizes.

Changes in V2:
- Updated the commit message to be imperative.
- Fixed ptep at incorrect index getting cleared for non-leaf entries.

Changes in V3:
- Used loop-local variables and removed redundant function variables.
- Added check for zero-sized dma_sync in __arm_lpae_clear_pte().
- Merged both patches into this single patch by adding check for a
   NULL gather in __arm_lpae_unmap() itself.

Changes in V4:
- Updated the subject in commit message to correctly reflect the changes
   made in this patch.
