Teach dma_direct_map_phys() to select the DMA address encoding based on
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED.

Use phys_to_dma_unencrypted() for decrypted mappings and
phys_to_dma_encrypted() otherwise. If a device requires unencrypted DMA
but the source physical address is still encrypted, force the mapping
through swiotlb so the DMA address and backing memory attributes remain
consistent.

Update the arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc secure-guest setup to not use
swiotlb force option

With this patch removing SWIOTLB_FORCE from four places in
kernel code, there are no remaining places where it is set.
The test of SWIOTLB_FORCE could be removed from
swiotlb_init_remap(), and its definition could be deleted
from include/linux/swiotlb.h.
