Reinstate some of "swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE"" 

Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert
in bddac7c1e0), and that a partial revert that only reverts the
problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably
better.  

And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr
Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long
discussion.

So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab ("swiotlb:
rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only
revert the part that caused problems.

DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE
------------------
This is a hint to the DMA-mapping subsystem that the device is expected to
overwrite the entire mapped size, thus the caller does not require any of the
previous buffer contents to be preserved. This allows bounce-buffering
implementations to optimise DMA_FROM_DEVICE transfers.
