[ Upstream commit aff8c8242bc638ba57247ae1ec5f272ac3ed3b92 ]

Commit e5afdf9dd515 ("powerpc/vfio_spapr_tce: Add reference counting to
iommu_table") missed an iommu_table allocation in the pseries vio code.
The iommu_table is allocated with kzalloc and as a result the associated
kref gets a value of zero. This has the side effect that during a DLPAR
remove of the associated virtual IOA the iommu_tce_table_put() triggers
a use-after-free underflow warning.

Call Trace:

Further, since the refcount was always zero the iommu_tce_table_put()
fails to call the iommu_table release function resulting in a leak.

Fix this issue be initilizing the iommu_table kref immediately after
allocation.
