Subject: [PATCH 3.13 033/120] lib/genalloc.c: add check gen_pool_dma_alloc() if dma pointer is not NULL

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Lad, Prabhakar" <prabhakar.csengg@...il.com>

commit 0368dfd01ae3b7647ef9b2f0525fdefd5e0d28e1 upstream.

In the gen_pool_dma_alloc() the dma pointer can be NULL and while
assigning gen_pool_virt_to_phys(pool, vaddr) to dma caused the following
crash on da850 evm:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
   Internal error: Oops: 805 [#1] PREEMPT ARM

This patch fixes the above.
