[RFC PATCH v2 4/6] vfio/spapr: Always clear TCEs before unsetting the window

The PAPR expects the TCE table to have no entries at the time of
unset window(i.e. remove-pe). The TCE clear right now is done
before freeing the iommu table. On pSeries, the unset window
makes those entries inaccessible to the OS and the H_PUT/GET calls
fail on them with H_CONSTRAINED.

On PowerNV, this has no side effect as the TCE clear can be done
before the DMA window removal as well.
