Subject: [PATCH] dma-mapping: Protect dma_addressing_limited against NULL dma_mask

There are cases when the helper gets called when the dma_mask is NULL.

This is observed when running virtio-block-pci devices protected by
a virtual IOMMU. Guest crashes with NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: b866455423e0 ("dma-mapping: add a dma_addressing_limited helper")
