[PATCH v5 14/19] arm64: Enforce bounce buffers for realm DMA

Within a realm guest it's not possible for a device emulated by the VMM
to access arbitrary guest memory. So force the use of bounce buffers to
ensure that the memory the emulated devices are accessing is in memory
which is explicitly shared with the host.

This adds a call to swiotlb_update_mem_attributes() which calls
set_memory_decrypted() to ensure the bounce buffer memory is shared with
the host. For non-realm guests or hosts this is a no-op.
