If system interrupts are disabled here, locking is unnecessary. Hotplug
operations depend on interrupt events, so it's better to remove the
lock. The shutdown helper then appears like this:

void intel_iommu_shutdown(void)
{
         struct dmar_drhd_unit *drhd;
         struct intel_iommu *iommu = NULL;

         if (no_iommu || dmar_disabled)
                 return;

         /*
          * System interrupts are disabled when it reaches here. Locking
          * is unnecessary when iterating the IOMMU list.
          */
         list_for_each_entry(drhd, &dmar_drhd_units, list) {
                 if (drhd->ignored)
                         continue;

                 iommu = drhd->iommu;
                 /* Disable PMRs explicitly here. */
                 iommu_disable_protect_mem_regions(iommu);
                 iommu_disable_translation(iommu);
         }
}

Does it work for you?
