iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix soft lockup triggered by armsmmumminvalidaterange

When running an SVA case, the following soft lockup is triggered:

Note that since 6.6-rc1 the armsmmumminvalidaterange above is renamed to "armsmmummarchinvalidatesecondarytlbs", yet the problem remains.

The commit 06ff87bae8d3 ("arm64: mm: remove unused functions and variable protoypes") fixed a similar lockup on the CPU MMU side. Yet, it can occur to SMMU too, since armsmmummarchinvalidatesecondarytlbs() is called typically next to MMU tlb flush function, e.g. tlbflushmmutlbonly { tlbflush { _flushtlbrange { // check MAXTLBIOPS } } mmunotifierarchinvalidatesecondarytlbs { armsmmummarchinvalidatesecondarytlbs { // does not check MAXTLBIOPS } } }

Clone a CMDQMAXTLBIOPS from the MAXTLBI_OPS in tlbflush.h, since in an SVA case SMMU uses the CPU page table, so it makes sense to align with the tlbflush code. Then, replace per-page TLBI commands with a single per-asid TLBI command, if the request size hits this threshold.
