iommu/io-pgtable: Introduce explicit coherency

Once we remove the serialising spinlock, a potential race opens up for
non-coherent IOMMUs whereby a caller of .map() can be sure that cache
maintenance has been performed on their new PTE, but will have no
guarantee that such maintenance for table entries above it has actually
completed (e.g. if another CPU took an interrupt immediately after
writing the table entry, but before initiating the DMA sync).

Handling this race safely will add some potentially non-trivial overhead
to installing a table entry, which we would much rather avoid on
coherent systems where it will be unnecessary, and where we are stirivng
to minimise latency by removing the locking in the first place.

To that end, let's introduce an explicit notion of cache-coherency to
io-pgtable, such that we will be able to avoid penalising IOMMUs which
know enough to know when they are coherent.
