dma-direct: avoid redundant memory sync for swiotlb
When we looked into FIO performance with swiotlb enabled in VM, we found swiotlb_bounce() is always called one more time than expected for each DMA read request. It turns out that the bounce buffer is copied to original DMA buffer twice after the completion of a DMA request (one is done by in dma_direct_sync_single_for_cpu(), the other by swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single()). But the content in bounce buffer actually doesn't change between the two rounds of copy. So, one round of copy is redundant. Pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag to swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single() to skip the memory copy in it. This fix increases FIO 64KB sequential read throughput in a guest with swiotlb=force by 5.6%.
