Revert "iommu/io-pgtable: Avoid redundant TLB syncs"
The tlb_sync_pending flag was necessary for correctness in the Mediatek M4U driver, but since it offered a small theoretical optimisation for all io-pgtable users it was implemented as a high-level thing. However, now that some users may not be using a synchronising lock, there are several ways this flag can go wrong for them, and at worst it could result in incorrect behaviour. Since we've addressed the correctness issue within the Mediatek driver itself, and fixing the optimisation aspect to be concurrency-safe would be quite a headache (and impose extra overhead on every operation for the sake of slightly helping one case which will virtually never happen in typical usage), let's just retire it.
