[PATCH v10 11/13] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Retain CR0_SMMUEN during kdump device reset

When ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT is detected, do not disable SMMUEN and skip
the CR1/CR2/STRTAB_BASE update sequence in arm_smmu_device_reset(). Those
register writes are all CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE while CR0_SMMUEN==1, so
leaving them intact lets in-flight DMAs continue to be translated by the
adopted stream table.
Initialize 'enables' to 0, so it can carry the retained CR0 fields in the
kdump case, clearing only the queue enable bits. Then, preserve them when
enabling the command queue.
The retained CR0 keeps the crashed kernel's ATSCHK too, which selects the
fast (0) or the safe (1) mode for the ATS translated traffic. Switching to
the safe mode would start checking the in-flight traffic against STE.EATS
fields that the crashed kernel never set up for a check, aborting the very
DMAs being carried.
Clear latched gerror bits if necessary.
