I'll move this into a iopt_clear_dirty_data()
There's also another less positive aspect here on the implicit assumption I made
that a dirty::bitmap == NULL means we do not care about recording dirty bitmap.
Which is OK. But I use that field being NULL as means to ignore the iommu driver
status control to just clear the remnant dirty bits that could have been done
until we disable dirty tracking. I'm thinking in making this into a flags value,
but keeping internally only, I am not sure this should be exposed to userspace.

down_read(&iopt->iova_rwsem) is more approprite;
iopt_read_and_clear_dirty_data() does so already.
But I should iterating over areas there too, which I wrongly not doing.

OK
