This patch updates dma_direct_unmap_sg() to mark each scatter/gather
entry invalid, after it's unmapped. This fixes two issues:
1. It makes the unmapping code able to tolerate a double unmap.
2. It prevents the NVMe driver from erroneously treating an unmapped DMA
address as mapped.
The bug that motivated this patch was the following sequence, which
occurred within the NVMe driver, with the kernel flag `swiotlb=force`.
* NVMe driver calls dma_direct_map_sg()
* dma_direct_map_sg() fails part way through the scatter gather/list
* dma_direct_map_sg() calls dma_direct_unmap_sg() to unmap any entries
succeeded.
* NVMe driver calls dma_direct_unmap_sg(), redundantly, leading to a
double unmap, which is a bug.
With this patch, a hadoop workload running on a cluster of three AMD
SEV VMs, is able to succeed. Without the patch, the hadoop workload
suffers application-level and even VM-level failures.
