[PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/pseries/iommu: Use dma_iommu_ops for Secure VMs aswell.

Commit edea902c1c1e ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't use dma_iommu_ops on
	       secure guests")
disabled dma_iommu_ops path, for secure VMs. The rationale for disabling
the dma_iommu_ops path, was to use the dma_direct path, since it had
inbuilt support for bounce-buffering through SWIOTLB.

However dma_iommu_ops is functionally much richer. Depending on the
capabilities of the platform, it can handle direct DMA; with or without
bounce buffering, and it can handle indirect DMA. Hence its better to
leverage the richer functionality supported by dma_iommu_ops.

Renable dma_iommu_ops path for pseries Secure VMs.
