Sashiko pointed out a new finding (didn't appear in my local runs)
that arm_smmu_impl_probe() would allow an untrusted hypervisor to
provide a malicious ACPI/DT table specifying a vendor extension.

I think it's valid, So, we likely need a guard, until impl has RMM
level support with additional RSI validation:

-	smmu = arm_smmu_impl_probe(smmu);
-	if (IS_ERR(smmu))
-		return PTR_ERR(smmu);
+	if (!is_realm_world()) {
+		smmu = arm_smmu_impl_probe(smmu);
+		if (IS_ERR(smmu))
+			return PTR_ERR(smmu);
+	}
