[PATCH] powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses

fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
PCI and VIO buses.  struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
registered to the other since they share the same node.

This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
notifier for PCI buses.  pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
discovered with KASAN:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device+0x60/0xe00

Fix this by creating separate notifier_block structs for each bus type.
