Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: do not use passthrough mode in Xen dom0

While technically Xen dom0 is a virtual machine too, it does have
access to most of the hardware so it doesn't need to be considered a
"passthrough". Commit b818a5d37454 ("drm/amdgpu/gmc: use PCI BARs for
APUs in passthrough") changed how FB is accessed based on passthrough
mode. This breaks amdgpu in Xen dom0 with message like this:

    [drm:dc_dmub_srv_wait_idle [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Error waiting for DMUB idle: status=3

While the reason for this failure is unclear, the passthrough mode is
not really necessary in Xen dom0 anyway. So, to unbreak booting affected
kernels, disable passthrough mode in this case.

Fixes: b818a5d37454 ("drm/amdgpu/gmc: use PCI BARs for APUs in passthrough")
