[PATCH] iommu/amd: Fix unity mapping initialization race

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

There is a race condition in the AMD IOMMU init code that
causes requested unity mappings to be blocked by the IOMMU
for a short period of time. This results on boot failures
and IO_PAGE_FAULTs on some machines.

Fix this by making sure the unity mappings are installed
before all other DMA is blocked.

Fixes: aafd8ba0ca74 ('iommu/amd: Implement add_device and remove_device')
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.2+
