[PATCH] arm64/dma-mapping: Fix null-pointer check

From: Olav Haugan
Date: Sat Jun 10 2017 - 15:41:30 EST


The current null-pointer check in __dma_alloc_coherent and
__dma_free_coherent is pretty much useless since we are dereferencing
the pointer before checking for null.
Check for null-pointer before the actual dereferencing of the pointer.
