Subject: [PATCH 4.9 078/129] iommu/amd: Silence warnings under memory pressure

From: Qian Cai <cai@....pw>

[ Upstream commit 3d708895325b78506e8daf00ef31549476e8586a ]

When running heavy memory pressure workloads, the system is throwing
endless warnings,

smartpqi 0000:23:00.0: AMD-Vi: IOMMU mapping error in map_sg (io-pages:
5 reason: -12)
Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40
07/10/2019
swapper/10: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xa20(GFP_ATOMIC),
nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,4
Call Trace:
 <IRQ>
 dump_stack+0x62/0x9a
 warn_alloc.cold.43+0x8a/0x148
 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1a5c/0x1bb0
 get_zeroed_page+0x16/0x20
 iommu_map_page+0x477/0x540

 do_IRQ+0x81/0x170
 common_interrupt+0xf/0xf
 </IRQ>

because the allocation could fail from iommu_map_page(), and the volume
of this call could be huge which may generate a lot of serial console
output and cosumes all CPUs.

Fix it by silencing the warning in this call site, and there is still a
dev_err() later to notify the failure.
