[PATCH 5.15 067/164] iommu/vt-d: Flush cache for PASID table before using it

[ Upstream commit 22d169bdd2849fe6bd18c2643742e1c02be6451c ]

When writing the address of a freshly allocated zero-initialized PASID
table to a PASID directory entry, do that after the CPU cache flush for
this PASID table, not before it, to avoid the time window when this
PASID table may be already used by non-coherent IOMMU hardware while
its contents in RAM is still some random old data, not zero-initialized.
