Subject: [PATCH 4/4] gntdev: Unchecked finction result

The dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent function may refuse
to apply a mask due to incorrectly passed parameters.
But since this function returns the error -EIO, this
is an abnormal situation and the error must be written to the log.
Do not return an error from the function.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
