intel-iommu: Free old page tables before creating superpage
The dma_pte_free_pagetable() function will only free a page table page if it is asked to free the *entire* 2MiB range that it covers. So if a page table page was used for one or more small mappings, it's likely to end up still present in the page tables... but with no valid PTEs. This was fine when we'd only be repopulating it with 4KiB PTEs anyway but the same virtual address range can end up being reused for a *large-page* mapping. And in that case were were trying to insert the large page into the second-level page table, and getting a complaint from the sanity check in __domain_mapping() because there was already a corresponding entry. This was *relatively* harmless; it led to a memory leak of the old page table page, but no other ill-effects. Fix it by calling dma_pte_clear_range (hopefully redundant) and dma_pte_free_pagetable() before setting up the new large page.
