Supervisor Request Enable (SRE) bit in a PASID entry is for permission

we are targeting kernel memory anyway. There's no need to differentiate
user and kernel for in-kernel DMA.

Let's use non-privileged (user) permission for all PASIDs used in kernel,
it will be consistent with DMA without PASID (RID_PASID) as well.
