Subject: [PATCH 1/3] swiotlb: Warn on allocation failure in swiotlb_alloc_coherent

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

Print a warning when all allocation tries have been failed
and the function is about to return NULL. This prepares for
calling the function with __GFP_NOWARN to suppress
allocation failure warnings before all fall-backs have
failed.
