DMA-API: provide a helper to set both DMA and coherent DMA masks
Provide a helper to set both the DMA and coherent DMA masks to the same value - this avoids duplicated code in a number of drivers, sometimes with buggy error handling, and also allows us identify which drivers do things differently. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
