[ Upstream commit 0a4d00e2e99a39a5698e4b63c394415dcbb39d90 ]

Commit 789a5913b29c ("iommu/amd: Use the generic iommu page table")
introduces the shared iommu page table for AMD IOMMU. Some bioses
contain an identity mapping for address 0x0, which is not parsed
properly (e.g., certain Strix Halo devices). This causes the DMA
components of the device to fail to initialize (e.g., the NVMe SSD
controller), leading to a failed post.

Specifically, on the GPD Win 5, the NVME and SSD GPU fail to mount,
making collecting errors difficult. While debugging, it was found that
a -EADDRINUSE error was emitted and its source was traced to
iommu_iova_to_phys(). After adding some debug prints, it was found that
phys_addr becomes 0, which causes the code to try to re-map the 0
address and fail, causing a cascade leading to a failed post. This is
because the GPD Win 5 contains a 0x0-0x1 identity mapping for DMA
devices, causing it to be repeated for each device.

The cause of this failure is the following check in
iommu_create_device_direct_mappings(), where address aliasing is handled
via the following check:

```
phys_addr = iommu_iova_to_phys(domain, addr);
if (!phys_addr) {
map_size += pg_size;
continue;
}
````

Obviously, the iommu_iova_to_phys() signature is faulty and aliases
unmapped and 0 together, causing the allocation code to try to
re-allocate the 0 address per device. However, it has too many
instantiations to fix. Therefore, use a ternary so that when addr
is 0, the check is done for address 1 instead.
