iommu/vt-d: Fix qi_batch NULL pointer with nested parent domain

The qi_batch is allocated when assigning cache tag for a domain. While

for nested parent domain, it is missed. Hence, when trying to map pages

to the nested parent, NULL dereference occurred. Also, there is potential

memleak since there is no lock around domain->qi_batch allocation.

To solve it, add a helper for qi_batch allocation, and call it in both

the __cache_tag_assign_domain() and __cache_tag_assign_parent_domain().
