Except, I don't think it fixes the problem that Sricharan is trying to
fix, namely that of DMA ops that have been setup, torn down, and are
trying to be re-setup again. The issue here is that results in a stale
setup, because the dma_ops are left in-place from the first iommu setup,
but the iommu mapping has been disposed of.

Your patch only avoids the problem of tearing down someone else's DMA
ops. We need a combination of both patches together.

What needs to happen for Sricharan's problem to be resolved is:

1. move all of __arm_iommu_detach_device() into arm_iommu_detach_device().
2. replace the __arm_iommu_detach_device() call in arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops()
with arm_iommu_detach_device().

as I don't see any need to have a different order in
arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops().
