commit 901c7280ca0d5e2b4a8929fbe0bfb007ac2a6544 upstream.

Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert in bddac7c1e02b), and that a partial revert that only reverts the problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably better. 

And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long discussion.

So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab47 ("swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only revert the part that caused problems.
