Extend the smmu testcase to validate iommu_groups, protected platform devices, critical DMA masters, and SMMU or IOMMU kernel log errors using shared functestlib helpers. Signed-off-by: Srikanth Muppandam <smuppand@qti.qualcomm.com>

This PR extends the SMMU testcase under Runner/suites/Kernel/Baseport/smmu.
Why this PR is needed:
The existing smmu test only checked whether
dmesg | grep iommureturned any output. That is too weak for QLI platforms and can both miss real issues and misrepresent actual SMMU status. On QLI systems,/sys/kernel/debug/iommumay be absent even when SMMU is functioning correctly, so relying on upstream-styledebugfs expectations is not sufficient.
What this PR changes:
/sys/kernel/iommu_groupspresence and group enumerationscan_dmesg_errorsandget_kernel_logfor SMMU or IOMMU related log analysis instead of a plaindmesg | grep iommuWhy this is useful:
On QLI hardware, the most meaningful SMMU validation is not just whether a log line exists, but whether:
This makes the testcase much closer to real SMMU runtime validation on target systems and helps catch regressions that the previous test would not detect.
