Is it racey?

The other option is to make iommfd do this and forbid it from
switching the enforce_cache_coherency if the IOAS has any maps
attached. We can get the correct locking at that point.

AMD has the same issue if it ever wants to implement its per-PTE bit

Yes. It's better to do this in iommufd. With that done, we can then
remove this code.
