Setting domain->iommufd_hwpt in iommufd_hwpt_alloc() only covers the HWPT
allocations from user space, but not for an auto domain. This resulted in
a NULL pointer access in the auto domain pathway:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 0000000000000008
pc : iommufd_sw_msi+0x54/0x2b0
lr : iommufd_sw_msi+0x40/0x2b0
Call trace:
iommufd_sw_msi+0x54/0x2b0 (P)
iommu_dma_prepare_msi+0x64/0xa8
its_irq_domain_alloc+0xf0/0x2c0
irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent+0x2c/0xa8
msi_domain_alloc+0xa0/0x1a8
Since iommufd_sw_msi() requires to access the domain->iommufd_hwpt, it is
better to set that explicitly prior to calling iommu_domain_set_sw_msi().
