[PATCH 1/2] iommu/vt-d: Avoid unnecessary device TLB flush in map path

iommu_flush_iotlb_psi() is called in map and unmap paths. The caching
mode check before device TLB invalidation will cause device TLB
invalidation always issued if IOMMU is not running in the caching mode.
This is inefficient and causes performance overhead.

Make device TLB invalidation behavior consistent between batched mode
unmapping and strict mode unmapping. Device TLB invalidation should only
be requested in the unmap path if the IOMMU is not in caching mode.

Fixes: bf92df30df90 ("intel-iommu: Only avoid flushing device IOTLB for domain ID 0 in caching mode")
