I am moving this check. See description below...

Right, I missed that. I'll rework this function.

Originally, when DTE[Mode]=0, the TV bit is set.

Then, the commit b9f0043e1ea6 "iommu/amd: Set translation valid bit only 
when IO page tables are in use" clears the TV ONLY when running on 
SNP-enabled system. We didn't clear the bit for all cases since there 
was a concern whether it would cause regression on older platforms.

However, I am considering clearing the TV flag for all cases to simplify 
the logic since it should not violate the spec.

Good point. I'll clean this up.
