[PATCH] x86_64: Fix a race in the free_iommu path
We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing
the iommu_bitmap_lock spinlock and using a bus-locked operation.
This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size >
1) which both use bus-unlocked operations.
The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an
iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large
contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.
