iommu/vt-d: Remove caching mode check before device TLB flush
The Caching Mode (CM) of the Intel IOMMU indicates if the hardware
implementation caches not-present or erroneous translation-structure
entries except for the first-stage translation. The caching mode is
irrelevant to the device TLB, therefore there is no need to check it
before a device TLB invalidation operation.
Remove two caching mode checks before device TLB invalidation in the
driver. The removal of these checks doesn't change the driver's behavior
in critical map/unmap paths. Hence, there is no functionality or
performance impact, especially since commit <29b32839725f> ("iommu/vt-d:
Do not use flush-queue when caching-mode is on") has already disabled
flush-queue for caching mode. Therefore, caching mode will never call
intel_flush_iotlb_all().
