[PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Flush old iotlb for kdump when the device gets context mapped

We met the DMAR fault both on hpsa P420i and P421 SmartArray controllers
under kdump, it can be steadily reproduced on several different machines,
the dmesg log is like:
HP HPSA Driver (v 3.4.16-0)
hpsa 0000:02:00.0: using doorbell to reset controller
hpsa 0000:02:00.0: board ready after hard reset.

DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
DMAR: [DMA Read] Request device [02:00.0] fault addr fffff000 [fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set
hpsa 0000:02:00.0: controller message 03:00 timed out
hpsa 0000:02:00.0: no-op failed; re-trying

After some debugging, we found that the corresponding pte entry value
is correct, and the value of the iommu caching mode is 0, the fault is
probably due to the old iotlb cache of the in-flight DMA.

Thus need to flush the old iotlb after context mapping is setup for the
device, where the device is supposed to finish reset at its driver probe
stage and no in-flight DMA exists hereafter.

With this patch, all our problematic machines can survive the kdump tests.
