[RFC PATCH] iommu: Optimize IOMMU UnMap

The current __arm_lpae_unmap() function calls dma_sync() on individual
PTEs after clearing them. By updating the __arm_lpae_unmap() to call
dma_sync() once for all cleared PTEs, the overall performance can be
improved 25% for large buffer sizes.
Below is detailed analysis of average unmap latency(in us) with and
without this optimization obtained by running dma_map_benchmark for
different buffer sizes.

Size	Time W/O	Time With	% Improvement
	Optimization	Optimization
	(us)		(us)

4KB	3.0		3.1		-3.33
1MB	250.3		187.9		24.93
2MB	493.7		368.7		25.32
4MB	974.7		723.4		25.78
