We've overridden dma_set_mask() at the function level, so it should
always apply regardless. Besides, none of the arm64 ops implement
.set_dma_mask anyway, so we could possibly drop the references to it
altogether.

Conversely, I suppose we could just implement said callback for
swiotlb_dma_ops and iommu_dma_ops with the parent_dma_mask-checking
function and drop the HAVE_ARCH_DMA_SET_MASK override instead. I'm not
sure which approach is preferable - the latter seems arguably cleaner in
isolation, but would also be less consistent with how the coherent mask
has to be handled. Ho hum.

Robin.
