Subject: [PATCH 1/8] lib/genalloc: add a helper function for DMA buffer allocation

When using pool space for DMA buffer, there might be duplicated calling
of gen_pool_alloc() and gen_pool_virt_to_phys() in each implementation.

Thus it's better to add a simple helper function, a compatible one to
the common dma_alloc_coherent(), to save some code.
