Another place where the dma_io_tlb_mem is useful to avoid the ifdef.

This refactoring should be another prep patch.

I'd rather have the names convey there are for the per-device bounce
buffer in some form.

While we're at it I wonder if the io_tlb is something we could change
while we're at it.  Maybe replace io_tlb_mem with struct swiotlb
and rename the field in struct device to dev_swiotlb?

Can we hook in somewhat lower level in the dma-direct code so that all
the remapping in dma-direct can be reused instead of duplicated?  That
also becomes important if we want to use non-remapping uncached support,
e.g. on mips or x86, or the direct changing of the attributes that Will
planned to look into for arm64.
