[RFC PATCH v2] arm DMA: Fix allocation from CMA for coherent DMA

[Lorenzo Nava]

This patch allows the use of CMA for DMA coherent memory allocation.
At the moment if the input parameter "is_coherent" is set to true 
the allocation is not made using the CMA, which I think is not the 
desired behaviour.

 correct __arm_dma_free() according to __dma_alloc() allocation
