Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix gfp flags for coherent DMA memory allocation

Commit 6894258eda2f reversed the order of gfp_flags adjustment in
dma_alloc_attrs() for x86 [arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c]
As a result, relevant flags set by dma_alloc_coherent_gfp_flags()
is just discarded and causes coherent DMA memory allocation failure
on some devices.

Fixes: 6894258eda2f ("dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_{attrs,coherent}")
