Subject: [PATCH][next] xsk: fix incorrect memory allocation failure check on dma_map->dma_pages

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The failed memory allocation check for dma_map->dma_pages is incorrect,
it is null checking dma_map and not dma_map->dma_pages. Fix this.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Logicall dead code")
Fixes: 921b68692abb ("xsk: Enable sharing of dma mappings")
