PATCH v2 1/1 iommu/vt-d: Avoid superfluous IOTLB tracking in lazy mode

Intel IOMMU driver implements IOTLB flush queue with domain selective or PASID selective invalidations. In this case there's no need to track IOVA page range and sync IOTLBs, which may cause significant performance hit.

This patch adds a check to avoid IOVA gather page and IOTLB sync for the lazy path.

The performance difference on Sapphire Rapids 100Gb NIC is improved by the following (as measured by iperf send):

w/o this fix~48 Gbits/s. with this fix ~54 Gbits/s

Fixes 2a2b8eaa5b25 ("iommu: Handle freelists when using deferred flushing in iommu drivers")

v2: use helper function iommu_iotlb_gather_queued() instead of open coding
