[PATCH v4] iommu/riscv: prevent NULL deref in iova_to_phys

The riscv_iommu_pte_fetch() function returns either NULL for
unmapped/never-mapped iova, or a valid leaf pte pointer that requires no
further validation.

riscv_iommu_iova_to_phys() failed to handle NULL returns. Prevent null pointer
dereference in riscv_iommu_iova_to_phys(), and remove the pte validation.

Fixes: 488ffbf18171 ("iommu/riscv: Paging domain support")
