Subject: intel-iommu: Speed up processing of the identity_mapping
 function

From: Mike Travis <[email protected]>

commit cb452a4040bb051d92e85d6e7eb60c11734c1781 upstream.

When there are a large count of PCI devices, and the pass through
option for iommu is set, much time is spent in the identity_mapping
function hunting though the iommu domains to check if a specific
device is "identity mapped".

Speed up the function by checking the cached info to see if
it's mapped to the static identity domain.
