Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: Add dma map/unmap error tracking support

A recent dma mapping error analysis effort showed that a large precentage
of dma_map_single() and dma_map_page() returns are not checked for mapping
errors. Reference: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/10/326

Adding support for tracking dma mapping and unmapping errors to help assess
the following:

When do dma mapping errors get detected?
How often do these errors occur?
Why don't we see failures related to missing dma mapping error checks?
Are they silent failures?
