x86/ept: flush cache when modifying PTEs and sharing page tables

Modifications made to the page tables by EPT code need to be written
to memory when the page tables are shared with the IOMMU, as Intel
IOMMUs can be non-coherent and thus require changes to be written to
memory in order to be visible to the IOMMU.

In order to achieve this make sure data is written back to memory
after writing an EPT entry when the recalc bit is not set in
atomic_write_ept_entry. If such bit is set, the entry will be
adjusted and atomic_write_ept_entry will be called a second time
without the recalc bit set. Note that when splitting a super page the
new tables resulting of the split should also be written back.

Failure to do so can allow devices behind the IOMMU access to the
stale super page, or cause coherency issues as changes made by the
processor to the page tables are not visible to the IOMMU.

This allows to remove the VT-d specific iommu_pte_flush helper, since
the cache write back is now performed by atomic_write_ept_entry, and
hence iommu_iotlb_flush can be used to flush the IOMMU TLB. The newly
used method (iommu_iotlb_flush) can result in less flushes, since it
might sometimes be called rightly with 0 flags, in which case it
becomes a no-op.

This is part of XSA-321.
