Subject: [PATCH 5.4 180/260] s390/pv: fix the forcing of the swiotlb

From: Halil Pasic <pasic@...ux.ibm.com>

commit 93ebb6828723b8aef114415c4dc3518342f7dcad upstream.

Since commit 903cd0f315fe ("swiotlb: Use is_swiotlb_force_bounce for
swiotlb data bouncing") if code sets swiotlb_force it needs to do so
before the swiotlb is initialised. Otherwise
io_tlb_default_mem->force_bounce will not get set to true, and devices
that use (the default) swiotlb will not bounce despite switolb_force
having the value of SWIOTLB_FORCE.

Let us restore swiotlb functionality for PV by fulfilling this new
requirement.

This change addresses what turned out to be a fragility in
commit 64e1f0c531d1 ("s390/mm: force swiotlb for protected
virtualization"), which ain't exactly broken in its original context,
but could give us some more headache if people backport the broken
change and forget this fix.
