Attempting to memset the whole IOMMU MMIO region to zero is dangerous to
say the least.  We don't know what registers might be there, nor which
values might be safe for those registers.  On a forthcoming platform doing
the zeroing of the MMIO region does put the IOMMU in a broken state, which
is not recoverable by the IOMMU initialization procedure in Xen.

Instead just zero the control register, which mimics the current behavior
with regards to how the control register is handled, and ensures the IOMU
setup is done with the unit disabled.  This approach will need revisiting
in order to support Preboot DMA Protection.

Fold map_iommu_mmio_region() into its only caller, as the function body is
just an ioremap() call after the removal of the memset().

Fixes: 0700c962ac2d ("Add AMD IOMMU support into hypervisor")

Changes since v2:
 - Avoid the disable_iommu() dance.
 - Expand commit message a bit.

Changes since v1:
 - Zero the control register after calling disable_iommu().
 - Print a warning message if the IOMMU is handed enabled to Xen from
   firmware.
 - Fix commit log grammar issues.
