Subject: [PATCH] x86: dma-mapping: fix broken allocation when dma_mask has been
 provided

Commit 0a2b9a6ea93 ("X86: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem")
broke memory allocation with dma_mask. This patch fixes possible kernel
ops caused by lack of resetting page variable when jumping to 'again' label.
