[PATCH RFC v6 3/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Support shared SIDs in insert/remove_master

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

On SoCs like NXP i.MX95 where the SMMU has a limited number of Stream
IDs (e.g. 6-bit bus = 64 SIDs), multiple DMA-capable devices are
assigned the same Stream ID by hardware design.

When a second master attempts to use a SID that is already claimed,
link the masters together via the stream's shared_masters list instead
of rejecting the probe. The stream object is shared directly between
masters — no duplication.

Sharing is restricted to single-SID masters (num_streams == 1) to keep
the STE lifecycle simple. Multi-SID sharing is explicitly rejected.

On removal, a shared master detaches from the shared_masters list and
ownership transfers to the next sharer if the departing master was the
stream owner. The stream and its RB tree entry are kept alive until
the last master using that SID is removed.

Since fault events on shared SIDs cannot be attributed to a specific
master, arm_smmu_find_master() returns NULL when the stream's
shared_masters list is non-empty.
