[PATCH RFC v7 5/7] 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 SCU configuration.

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.
Sharing is also rejected if the existing master has stall enabled, since
dynamically clearing stall_enabled without reprogramming the hardware
STE would leave the stall bit active and risk an unrecoverable bus
lockup when CMD_RESUME cannot be issued.

On removal, arm_smmu_free_master_streams() handles both the shared and
non-shared cases: 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.
