Subject: [PATCH] x86: adjust GFP mask handling for coherent allocations

Rather than forcing GFP flags and DMA mask to be inconsistent, GFP
flags should be determined even for the fallback device through
dma_alloc_coherent_mask()/dma_alloc_coherent_gfp_flags(). This
restores 64-bit behavior as it was prior to commits
8965eb19386fdf5ccd0ef8b02593eb8560aa3416 and
4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e (not sure why there are two of
them), where GFP_DMA was forced on for 32-bit, but not for 64-bit, with
the slight adjustment that afaict even 32-bit doesn't need this without
CONFIG_ISA.
