These lines of code were commented out when they were first added in commit
ba39592764 ("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
