Subject: [PATCH] iommu/vt-d: silence a RCU-list debugging warning

dmar_find_atsr() calls list_for_each_entry_rcu() outside of an RCU read
side critical section but with dmar_global_lock held. Silence this
false positive.

 drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c:4504 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
 1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
 #0: ffffffff9755bee8 (dmar_global_lock){+.+.}, at: intel_iommu_init+0x1a6/0xe19

 Call Trace:
