[PATCH v1 10/11] iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Warn on a VCMDQ base above the 48-bit hardware limit

tegra241_vcmdq_alloc_smmu_cmdq() allocates the VCMDQ buffer via the common
arm_smmu_init_one_queue(), which uses smmu->dev and its coherent DMA mask
of DMA_BIT_MASK(smmu->oas). The architectural Q_BASE_ADDR_MASK is 52 bits,
but the Tegra241 VCMDQ_BASE holds only 48 (VCMDQ_ADDR), so the masked write
"q_base = base_dma & VCMDQ_ADDR" silently drops bits 48 and up.

A real Tegra241 never reports a 52-bit OAS alongside the 48-bit VCMDQ, so
this cannot happen on correct hardware, but a buggy or hostile hypervisor
could still advertise such an OAS to a guest. The user-VCMDQ path already
rejects a base_addr_pa with bits set outside VCMDQ_ADDR; add the same guard
to the kernel-allocated path, failing the queue init rather than silently
truncating the base. Use dev_warn_once() rather than WARN_ON(): the OAS is
hypervisor-controlled, and a WARN_ON() would let it panic a guest that is
booted with panic_on_warn.
