[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: memalloc: Use coherent DMA allocation for fallback again

We switched the memory allocation for fallback cases in the noncontig
type to use the standard alloc_pages*() at the commit a8d302a0b770
("ALSA: memalloc: Revive x86-specific WC page allocations again"),
while we used the dma_alloc_coherent() in the past.  The reason was
that the page address retrieved from the virtual pointer returned from
dma_alloc_coherent() can't be used with IOMMU systems.  Meanwhile, we
explicitly disabled the fallback allocation for IOMMU systems at the
commit 9736a325137b ("ALSA: memalloc: Don't fall back for SG-buffer
with IOMMU") after the commit above; that is, the usage of
dma_alloc_coherent() should be OK again.

Now, we've received reports that the current fallback page allocation
caused a regression on Xen (and maybe other) systems; the sound
disappear partially or completely.  So it's time to take back to
dma_alloc_coherent().

This patch switches back to the dma_alloc_coherent() for the fallback
allocations.  Unlike the previous implementation, the allocation is
implemented in a more optimized way to try larger chunks.  Also, the
proper DMA address from the dma_alloc_coherent() is returned.

The page count for the page chunk is stored in the lower bits of the
first page address. The address is masked and re-calculated at
get_addr memalloc ops in return.

Fixes: a8d302a0b770 ("ALSA: memalloc: Revive x86-specific WC page allocations again")
Fixes: 9736a325137b ("ALSA: memalloc: Don't fall back for SG-buffer with IOMMU")
