well, it's not how the code is currently written. iommu_queue_iopf()
doesn't hold dev_iommu->fault_param->lock to update the partial
list. 

while at it looks there is also a mislocking in iopf_queue_discard_partial()
which only acquires queue->lock.

So we have three places touching the partial list all with different locks:

- iommu_queue_iopf() relies on dev_iommu->lock
- iopf_queue_discard_partial() relies on queue->lock
- this new assert function uses dev_iommu->fault_param->lock
