Subject: [090/244] iommu/amd: Dont take domain->lock recursivly

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@....com>

commit e33acde91140f1809952d1c135c36feb66a51887 upstream.

The domain_flush_devices() function takes the domain->lock.
But this function is only called from update_domain() which
itself is already called unter the domain->lock. This causes
a deadlock situation when the dma-address-space of a domain
grows larger than 1GB.
