Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: rcar-dmac: Handle hardware descriptor allocation failure

If the atomic DMA coherent pool is too small, disable use of hardware
descriptor lists instead of crashing the system:

ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small!
Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
Internal error: Oops: a07 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
