Alexander Graf 524dabe1c6 arm64: Fix swiotlb fallback allocation
Commit b67a8b29df introduced logic to skip swiotlb allocation when all memory
is DMA accessible anyway.

While this is a great idea, __dma_alloc still calls swiotlb code unconditionally
to allocate memory when there is no CMA memory available. The swiotlb code is
called to ensure that we at least try get_free_pages().

Without initialization, swiotlb allocation code tries to access io_tlb_list
which is NULL. That results in a stack trace like this:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  [...]

  [<ffff000000b46a94>] vc4_drm_bind+0xec/0x168 [vc4]
  [...]

Thankfully swiotlb code just learned how to not do allocations with the FORCE_NO
option. This patch configures the swiotlb code to use that if we decide not to
initialize the swiotlb framework.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
