These lines of code were commented out when they were first added in commit
ba39592764ed ("Intel IOMMU: Intel IOMMU driver"). We do not want to restore
them because the VT-d spec has deprecated the read/write draining hit.
VT-d spec (section 11.4.2):
"
Hardware implementation with Major Version 2 or higher (VER_REG), always
performs required drain without software explicitly requesting a drain in
IOTLB invalidation. This field is deprecated and hardware will always
report it as 1 to maintain backward compatibility with software.
"
Remove the code to make the code cleaner.
