[lvc-project] [PATCH] scsi: myrs: check return value of dma_alloc_coherent() instead of using dma_mapping_error()

dma_alloc_coherent() may leave third parameter uninitialized. So
it is not safe to use dma_mapping_error() without checking return
value of dma_alloc_coherent().

Check the return value of dma_alloc_coherent() to detect
an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
