From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu at linux.alibaba.com>

Add hardware dirty tracking support for second-stage (iohgatp) domains
used in KVM VFIO device pass-through.

The RISC-V IOMMU can automatically set the dirty bit in PTEs on write
access when DC.tc.GADE is set and the hardware has AMO_HWAD capability.
Wire this up to the iommufd dirty tracking interface:

  - riscv_iommu_set_dirty_tracking(): Always enabled dirty tracking for
    second-stage domain.

  - riscv_iommu_dirty_ops: Exposes set_dirty_tracking and the generic
    page-table read_and_clear_dirty via IOMMU_PT_DIRTY_OPS(riscv_64).

  - domain_alloc_paging_flags: Assigns dirty_ops to second-stage domains
    when AMO_HWAD is advertised in hardware capabilities.

  - riscv_iommu_capable: Reports IOMMU_CAP_DIRTY_TRACKING when
    AMO_HWAD is present.
