Yes, definitely _once() here.

It could be extended later to be per-device if the need arises.

Also, a bit above in this function, we test if (ops->set_dma_mask) so
device drivers which supply even an empty ->set_dma_mask will circumvent
this check.

It probably doesn't matter all that much right now because the
only driver I see right now defining this method, though, is
ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_pf.c and some other arches' functionality
which is unrelated here.

But still...
