[PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu: add a shortcut when the @dev_node is NULL

When a device is added to a bus, it will trigger the chain notifier hook,
such as iommu_bus_notifier. The find_smmu_for_device() can be called here.

In some cases, the @device_node can be NULL. For example, when the device
is one of the following:
    alarmtime, serial, rtc or snd_soc.

This patch adds a shortcut for the code when the @device_node is NULL.
In my juno-r1 board, the boot time can be faster by 0.004014s.
