[PATCH 01/20] iommu/vt-d: Fix UCTP context table slot when copying root entries

When translation is already enabled at boot (e.g. kdump), the vt-d driver
copies context tables from the previous kernel's root table. In scalable
mode, buses that only populate the upper root half (UCTP, devfn >= 0x80)
should be written to ctxt_tbls[tbl_idx + 1] through copy_context_table().
However, the current copy path always uses tbl[tbl_idx + 0] in this situa-
tion. Since idx wraps to 0 at devfn 0x80 due to a zeroed LCTP, new_ce for
LCTP will be NULL and keep pos equals to 0. Thus, UCTP entries will be co-
pied into tbl[tbl_idx + 0] instead of tbl[tbl_idx + 1], and written after-
wards to root_entry[bus].lo instead of .hi in copy_translation_tables().

In short, devices on bus 0x80 with devfn >= 0x80 fail DMA with fault 0x39,
which will break drivers running in kernels with translation pre-enabled.
This fixes NO_PASID DMAR faults for UCTP-only buses such as:

DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [80:14.0] fault addr 0xe81759000
      [fault reason 0x39] SM: Present bit in Root Entry is clear

For instance, this fault yielded to locking issues between systemd and
xHCI, blocking a system's reboot after a vmcore was captured with kdump:

 systemd-udevd[246]: usb3: Worker [255] processing SEQNUM=2193 is taking a long time
 dracut-initqueue[277]: Timed out while waiting for udev queue to empty.
 systemd-udevd[246]: usb3: Worker [255] processing SEQNUM=2193 killed
 systemd-udevd[246]: usb3: Worker [255] terminated by signal 9 (KILL).
 ...
 kdump[569]: saving vmcore complete
 ...
 systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting.
