Subject: [PATCH V5 1/5] iommu/amd: Remove unnecessary locking from AMD iommu driver

We can remove the mutex lock from amd_iommu_map and amd_iommu_unmap.
iommu_map doesn’t lock while mapping and so no two calls should touch
the same iova range. The AMD driver already handles the page table page
allocations without locks so we can safely remove the locks.
