[PATCH 2/3] ARM: dma-mapping: reset DMA ops before detaching from the IOMMU

arm_iommu_attach_device() installs the IOMMU-aware dma_map_ops only
after iommu_attach_device() has run, so a driver that builds its page
tables during attach (msm_iommu via io-pgtable) maps them while the
device still has the direct DMA ops: the resulting dma_handle equals the
physical address.

arm_iommu_detach_device() does the reverse in the wrong order. It calls
iommu_detach_device() first and clears the DMA ops afterwards. When
detaching frees those page tables (msm_iommu_identity_attach() ->
free_io_pgtable_ops()), the freeing dma_unmap now goes through the still
installed IOMMU ops, which treat the stored physical address as an IOVA.
iommu_unmap() warns "region not mapped" and __free_iova() indexes an
unallocated bitmap extension, dereferencing NULL:

  __bitmap_clear from arm_iommu_unmap_phys
  arm_iommu_unmap_phys from dma_unmap_phys
  dma_unmap_phys from __arm_v7s_free_table
  __arm_v7s_free_table from arm_v7s_free_pgtable
  arm_v7s_free_pgtable from msm_iommu_identity_attach
  msm_iommu_identity_attach from __iommu_attach_device
  __iommu_attach_device from iommu_detach_device
  iommu_detach_device from arm_iommu_detach_device
  arm_iommu_detach_device from arch_teardown_dma_ops
  arch_teardown_dma_ops from device_unbind_cleanup

This is reached on apq8064 (ifc6410) when the adreno GPU probe fails and
its DMA ops are torn down.

Reset the DMA ops before iommu_detach_device() so page-table teardown
runs with the same direct ops that mapped them at attach time.
