dmaengine: idxd: add a new security check to deal with a hardware erratum

On Sapphire Rapids and related platforms, the DSA and IAA devices have an
erratum that causes direct access (for example, by using the ENQCMD or
MOVDIR64 instructions) from untrusted applications to be a security problem.

To solve this, add a flag to the PCI device enumeration and device structures
to indicate the presence/absence of this security exposure. In the mmap()
method of the device, this flag is then used to enforce that the user
has the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability.

In a future patch, a write() based method will be added that allows untrusted
applications submit work to the accelerator, where the kernel can do
sanity checking on the user input to ensure secure operation of the accelerator.
