powerpc/powernv/iommu: iommu incorrectly bypass DMA APIs

In a PowerNV environment, for devices that supports DMA mask less than
64 bit but larger than 32 bits, iommu is incorrectly bypassing DMA
APIs while allocating and mapping buffers for DMA operations.

Devices are failing with ENOMEN during probe with the following messages

amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=4096M, BAR=4096M
amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: [drm] RAM width 128bits GDDR5
