As mentioned in [0], the CPU may consume many cycles processing
arm_smmu_cmdq_issue_cmdlist(). One issue we find is the cmpxchg() loop to
get space on the queue takes approx 25% of the cycles for this function.

This series removes that cmpxchg().

For my NVMe test with 3x NVMe SSDs, I'm getting a ~24% throughput
increase:
Before: 1310 IOPs
After: 1630 IOPs

I also have a test harness to check the rate of DMA map+unmaps we can
achieve:

CPU count	32	64	128
Before:		63187	19418	10169
After:		93287	44789	15862

(unit is map+unmaps per CPU per second)

There's no specific problem that I know of with this series, as previous
issues should now be fixed - but I'm a bit nervous about how we deal with
the queue being full and wrapping.

And I want to test more.

Thanks
