CVE-2022-48796 iommu: Fix potential use-after-free during probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu: Fix potential use-after-free during probe

Kasan has reported the following use after free on dev->iommu.
when a device probe fails and it is in process of freeing dev->iommu
in dev_iommu_free function, a deferred_probe_work_func runs in parallel
and tries to access dev->iommu->fwspec in of_iommu_configure path thus
causing use after free.

Fix this by setting dev->iommu to NULL first and
then freeing dev_iommu structure in dev_iommu_free
function.
