Such change will cause to extra function call for everyone who doesn't
use SWIOTLB (RDMA, HMM e.t.c).

In addition, iommu_dma_map_swiotlb() is called through
dma_iova_link -> 
	iommu_dma_iova_link_swiotlb -> 
		iommu_dma_iova_bounce_and_link() -> 
			iommu_dma_map_swiotlb()
and dma_iova_link() has this "if (dev_use_swiotlb(dev, size, dir) && iova_unaligned(iovad, phys, size))"
very early at call stack.

So, in dma_iova_link() we will find ourselves with same check twice.
