spapr_iommu: Do not replay mappings from just created DMA window

On sPAPR vfio_listener_region_add() is called in 2 situations:
1. a new listener is registered from vfio_connect_container();
2. a new IOMMU Memory Region is added from rtas_ibm_create_pe_dma_window().

In both cases vfio_listener_region_add() calls
memory_region_iommu_replay() to notify newly registered IOMMU notifiers
about existing mappings which is totally desirable for case 1.

However for case 2 it is nothing but noop as the window has just been
created and has no valid mappings so replaying those does not do anything.
It is barely noticeable with usual guests but if the window happens to be
really big, such no-op replay might take minutes and trigger RCU stall
warnings in the guest.

For example, a upcoming GPU RAM memory region mapped at 64TiB (right
after SPAPR_PCI_LIMIT) causes a 64bit DMA window to be at least 128TiB
which is (128<<40)/0x10000=2.147.483.648 TCEs to replay.

This mitigates the problem by adding an "skipping_replay" flag to
sPAPRTCETable and defining sPAPR own IOMMU MR replay() hook which does
exactly the same thing as the generic one except it returns early if
@skipping_replay==true.

Another way of fixing this would be delaying replay till the very first
H_PUT_TCE but this does not work if in-kernel H_PUT_TCE handler is
enabled (a likely case).

When "ibm,create-pe-dma-window" is complete, the guest will map only
required regions of the huge DMA window.
