There is no need for this else statement, given that if block will return.
This change is not supposed to change the output binary.

It reduces identation level on most lines in this function, and also
fixes an split string on vq_err().

I think this will lead at least warnings from compiler.

Generally, I would not bother to make changes like this especially consider it will bring troubles when trying to backporting fixes to downstream in the future.

There're some more interesting things: e.g current metadata IOTLB performance is bad for dynamic mapping since it will be reset each time a new updating is coming.

We can optimize this by only reset the metadata IOTLB when the updating is for metdata.

Want to try this?

Thanks
