iommu/vt-d: Disallow read-only mappings to nest parent domain

When remapping hardware is configured by system software in scalable mode
as Nested (PGTT=011b) and with PWSNP field Set in the PASID-table-entry,
it may Set Accessed bit and Dirty bit (and Extended Access bit if enabled)
in first-stage page-table entries even when second-stage mappings indicate
that corresponding first-stage page-table is Read-Only.

As the result, contents of pages designated by VMM as Read-Only can be
modified by IOMMU via PML5E (PML4E for 4-level tables) access as part of
address translation process due to DMAs issued by Guest.

This disallows read-only mappings in the domain that is supposed to be used
as nested parent. Reference from Sapphire Rapids Specification Update [1],
errata details, SPR17. Userspace should know this limitation by checking
the IOMMU_HW_INFO_VTD_ERRATA_772415_SPR17 flag reported in the IOMMU_GET_HW_INFO
ioctl.
