This patch solves a crash at the time of mlx4 driver unload or system
shutdown. The crash occurs because dma_alloc_coherent() returns one
value in mlx4_alloc_icm_coherent(), but a different value is passed to
dma_free_coherent() in mlx4_free_icm_coherent(). In turn this is because
when allocated, that pointer is passed to sg_set_buf() to record it,
then when freed it is re-calculated by calling
lowmem_page_address(sg_page()) which returns a different value. Solve
this by recording the value that dma_alloc_coherent() returns, and
passing this to dma_free_coherent().
This patch is roughly equivalent to commit 378efe798e ("RDMA/hns: Get
rid of page operation after dma_alloc_coherent").

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.
