Urgh, apologies again - I had a mental short-circuit and was convinced 
that the SWIOTLB call already did its own cache maintenance. I really 
should have learned by now not to review fiddly patches like these while 
tired...

It's still a logical part of this change - cleaning up the potentially 
wrong sync while you make sure the right one happens. Even more so if 
you make the fix the better way by having iommu_dma_map_sg_swiotlb() 
call iommu_dma_map_page().
