Subject: [PATCH] swiotlb: Fix uninitialized pointer on DMA ops

The mmap function pointer on swiotlb_dma_ops struct is
uninitialized, which causes a random crash when calling
the dma_mmap_coherent function on platforms where no DMA
address translation hardware is available.

Set this pointer to NULL in order to fix the issue.
