On reboot, a late DP hot-plug-detect (HPD) IRQ can fire after
apps_smmu has already disabled translation for the display
subsystem, causing the HPD thread to kick off a new modeset that
drives DPU/DP hardware and DMA through a stale IOMMU mapping.

DPU's own .shutdown disables all CRTCs first, but a pending HPD IRQ
thread wakes up afterwards, reads the DPCD, and fires an unsolicited
hotplug event that triggers a second atomic commit turning the
display back on -- right as the IOMMU is disabling translation:

  systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting.
  msm_dpu: drm_atomic_commit: committing (shutdown disabling CRTCs)
  arm-smmu 3da0000.iommu: disabling translation
  msm_dpu: drm_dp_read_dpcd_caps (late HPD IRQ thread wakes up)
  msm_dpu: drm_sysfs_connector_hotplug_event: DP-1 hotplug event
  msm_dpu: drm_client_modeset_probe: DP-1 found preferred mode
  msm_dpu: drm_atomic_commit: committing (unsolicited, re-enables display)
  dpu_crtc_commit_kickoff: crtc94 first commit
  arm-smmu 15200000.iommu: disabling translation

Mask and flush the IRQ in .shutdown so no HPD event can retrigger a
modeset once shutdown has started.
Reported on lemans-evk and monaco-evk during reboot stress testing.

I'd very much prefer if instead we fix the framework to stop polling and
HPD notifications on shutdown.
