Subject: [PATCH 03/10] swiotlb: do not panic on mapping failures

All properly written drivers now have error handling in the
dma_map_single / dma_map_page callers.  As swiotlb_tbl_map_single already
prints a useful warning when running out of swiotlb pool swace we can
also remove swiotlb_full entirely as it serves no purpose now.
