[RFC PATCH 1/1] iommu: Fix one concurrency issue happens on non-iommu binding device

Thread (1)
During SMMU probe:
iommu_device_register
        bus_iommu_probe
                probe_iommu_group for all devices in bus
                        _probe_iommu_device
(non-iommu binding device)	first allocate dev->iommu then free

Thread (2)
client device probing:
dma_configure
        of_iommu_configure
                get dev->iommu->fwspec and call fwspec->ops

There may be a time window that dev->iommu allocated even for non iommu
binding device in thread (1). It would be possible thread (2) meet Use-
after-free errors at that window.

Fix it by closing the time window, set dev->iommu only once
ops->probe_device successfully.

Hi Jason, Robin,
Shall we first address non-iommu binding device crash with below patch? It's
seen a lot especially when smmu probing and other driver probing at same time.
Although it doesn't comprehensively fixes race with of_xlate VS probe, it
indeed solves issue for non-iommu binding device.
