[PATCH v9 11/12] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Skip RMR bypass for kdump adoption

[Nicolin Chen <nicolinc@nvidia.com>]

RMR bypass STEs are installed during SMMUv3 probe for StreamIDs listed by
IORT RMR nodes. A normal boot switches the driver to a fresh stream table
whose initial STEs abort, so those RMR SIDs need bypass entries before it
becomes live. This preserves firmware/guest-owned traffic, including vSMMU
guest MSI cases built around RMR-described SIDs.

ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT is the opposite case: the driver keeps SMMUEN set
and adopts the crashed kernel's stream table, so RMR SIDs already have the
only translation state known to be safe for active in-flight DMA. Replacing
an adopted STE with bypass can turn translated DMA into physical DMA, then
point it at the wrong memory.

arm_smmu_make_bypass_ste() also rewrites the STE in place after clearing it
first. While the table is live, a concurrent hardware STE fetch can observe
V=0 or mixed old/new state.

Leaving the adopted STE unmodified keeps the kdump kernel using the crashed
kernel's translation. That gives the endpoint driver a chance to probe and
quiesce the device.

If the old STE was already abort or invalid, installing bypass would create
new DMA permission; leaving it alone is a safer failure mode. Later domain
setup still gets the RMR direct mappings through the reserved-region path.
