Subject: [PATCH] swiotlb: Initialise restricted pool list_head when SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y

Using restricted DMA pools (CONFIG_DMA_RESTRICTED_POOL=y) in conjunction
with dynamic SWIOTLB (CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y) leads to the following
crash when initialising the restricted pools at boot-time:

  | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
  | Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  | pc : rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec
  | lr : rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xf0/0x1ec
  | Call trace:
  |  rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec
  |  of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx+0x18c/0x238
  |  of_dma_configure_id+0x31c/0x33c
  |  platform_dma_configure+0x34/0x80

faddr2line reveals that the crash is in the list validation code:

  include/linux/list.h:83
  include/linux/rculist.h:79
  include/linux/rculist.h:106
  kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:306
  kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:1695

because add_mem_pool() is trying to list_add_rcu() to a NULL
'mem->pools'.

Fix the crash by initialising the 'mem->pools' list_head in
rmem_swiotlb_device_init() before calling add_mem_pool().
