[6.2][regression] after commit ffcb754584603adf7039d7972564fbf6febdc542 all sound devices disappeared (due BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:3592!)

Ok, it seems like the sound noncontig alloc code that I already
commented on as potentially bogus GFP_GOMP mapping trips this.  I think
for now the right thing would be to revert the hunk in dma-iommu.c
(see patch below).  The other thing to try would be to remove both
uses GFP_COMP in sound/core/memalloc.c, which should have the same
effect.
