[RFC] drivers: dma-coherent: Change order of allocation to PAGE_SIZE

[Sricharan R]

dma_alloc_from_coherent uses get_order(size) which makes carve-out
allocations not aligned on order boundaries to fail even though
they are page aligned. So wanted to know why is it required to have
the size aligned on order boundary. Changing it to get_order(PAGE_SIZE)
makes the non aligned carve-out allocations to go through.
