iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Mark STE MEV safe when computing the update sequence
Nested CD tables set the MEV bit to try to reduce multi-fault spamming on
the hypervisor. Since MEV is in STE word 1 this causes a breaking update
sequence that is not required and impacts real workloads.
For the purposes of STE updates the value of MEV doesn't matter, if it is
set/cleared early or late it just results in a change to the fault reports
that must be supported by the kernel anyhow. The spec says:
Note: Software must expect, and be able to deal with, coalesced fault
records even when MEV == 0.
So mark STE MEV safe when computing the update sequence, to avoid creating
a breaking update.
