check_unmap() only checks it for coherent mappings (where it makes
sense). But for a best-fit search it does not make sense because we
already check for the type and multiple coherent mappings to the same
dma_addr for the same device are not possible (because for coherent
mappings the memory is allocated by the dma_ops backend).
