[PATCH] x86_64: Fix a race in the free_iommu path
We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing the iommu_bitmap_lock spinlock and using a bus-locked operation. This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size > 1) which both use bus-unlocked operations. The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.
