iommu/amd: Remove unnecessary locking from AMD iommu driver

Browse source 
With or without locking it doesn't make sense for two writers to be
writing to the same IOVA range at the same time. Even with locking we
still have a race condition, whoever gets the lock first, so we still
can't be sure what the result will be. With locking the result will be
more sane, it will be correct for the last writer, but still useless
because we can't be sure which writer will get the lock last. It's a
fundamentally broken design to have two writers writing to the same
IOVA range at the same time.

So we can remove the locking and work on the assumption that no two
writers will be writing to the same IOVA range at the same time.

The only exception is when we have to allocate a middle page in the page
tables, the middle page can cover more than just the IOVA range a writer
has been allocated. However this isn't an issue in the AMD driver
because it can atomically allocate middle pages using "cmpxchg64()".
