powerpc/pseries/iommu: switch to Default DMA window during kdump

In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows -
2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to
map total RAM to a device.

During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default
window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in
pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA.

As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find()
finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a
kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device.

Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not
initialized for kdump over SR-IOV") fixed an issue during kdump with SR-IOV
case, but this also made the kdump prefer DDW over the default DMA window
when both are present (dedicated adapter case). Since the DDW is fully
mapped by the previous kernel, iommu_table_clear() can free only
KDUMP_MIN_TCE_ENTRIES (2048) TCEs for use by kdump kernel.

This is not enough when the dump device is NVMe over Fibre Channel.
Because nvme-fc driver DMA-maps the cmds and resp IUs of every
pre-allocated request and each such mapping consumes roughly:

    32 (IO queues, one per cpus = nr_cpus) *
    64 (queue_depth, blk-mq kdump limit) *
    2 (cmd+resp) = 4096

This is already double of what we have without counting admin queues and
lpfc driver's own allocations / mapping requirement. Hence this results
into iommu_alloc failures like -

lpfc 0153:70:00.0: iommu_alloc failed,
tbl 0000000034ebcf5e vaddr 00000000d814df0b npages 1
lpfc 0153:70:00.0: FCP Op failed - cmdiu dma mapping failed.

Increasing the number of free TCE entries in iommu_table_clear() will
increase the probability of hitting EEH since there could still be some
active IOs from the previous life of the kernel.

Hence this patch partially reverts the previous fixes commit and
switches the kdump's default back to 2GB default DMA window instead of
DDW window. This window will mostly be empty. Or, could be slightly used
if buffers in pmemory were mapped for IO.
