[PATCH v2 2/2] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Simplify useless instructions in arm_smmu_cmdq_build_cmd()

[Zhen Lei]

Although the parameter 'cmd' is always passed by a local array variable,
and only this function modifies it, the compiler does not know this. The
compiler almost always reads the value of cmd[i] from memory rather than
directly using the value cached in the register. This generates many
useless instruction operations and affects the performance to some extent.

To guide the compiler for proper optimization, 'cmd' is defined as a local
array variable, marked as register, and copied to the output parameter at
a time when the function is returned.

The optimization effect can be viewed by running the "size arm-smmu-v3.o"
command.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex
  26954    1348      56   28358    6ec6

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex
  26762    1348      56   28166    6e06
