I'm not sure this should be in the iommu core, it is really gross.

I would expect IDXD to keep track of the PASID's and mms it is using
and do this kind of stuff itself.

And why is this using access_remote_vm anyhow? If you know you are in
a kthread then kthread_use_mm() is probably better anyhow.

In any event we don't need a iommu_sva_find() function to wrapper
xa_load for another function inside the same .c file.
