Subject: [PATCH 4.16 058/196] swiotlb: fix unexpected swiotlb_alloc_coherent failures

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 9e7f06c8beee304ee21b791653fefcd713f48b9a upstream.

The code refactoring by commit 0176adb00406 ("swiotlb: refactor coherent
buffer allocation") made swiotlb_alloc_buffer almost always failing due
to a thinko: namely, the function evaluates the dma_coherent_ok call
incorrectly and dealing as if it's invalid. This ends up with weird
errors like iwlwifi probe failure or amdgpu screen flickering.

This patch corrects the logic error.
