swiotlb: use coherent_dma_mask in alloc_coherent
Impact: fix DMA buffer allocation coherency bug in certain configs
This patch fixes swiotlb to use dev->coherent_dma_mask in
swiotlb_alloc_coherent().
coherent_dma_mask is a subset of dma_mask (equal to it most of
the time), enumerating the address range that a given device
is able to DMA to/from in a cache-coherent way.
But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent()
implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really
supposed to use coherent_dma_mask.
This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than
dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the
same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).
