Subject: [PATCH] Introduce dmam_zalloc_coherent()

All memory allocation functions have a pendant for allocating zeroed
memory, but dmam_alloc_coherent does not have such a pendant.
However, it is easier to read dmam_zalloc_coherent than passing an extra
flag or, even worse, see memset() after the allocation.
This patch adds an inline function dmam_zalloc_coherent(), exactly like
the implementation of dma_zalloc_coherent().
