When IOMMU is on, the actual synchronization happens in the same cases
as with the direct DMA. Advertise %DMA_F_CAN_SKIP_SYNC in IOMMU DMA to
skip sync ops calls (indirect) for non-SWIOTLB buffers.

After patch, lines with <*> no longer show up, and overall
cpu usage looks much better (~60% instead of ~72%):
25.56% [kernel] [k] gq_rx_skb
9.90% [kernel] [k] napi_reuse_skb

iavf yields +10% of Mpps on Rx. This also unblocks batched allocations
of XSk buffers when IOMMU is active.
