drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:774:8-26: WARNING: dma_alloc_coherent used in (fwd)

[Julia Lawall]

The warning suggests that the memset in idxd_device_evl_setup may not be
needed.  There is a possibility of allocation via function pointer,
though, in dma_alloc_attrs, so I don't know what the possibilities are
in this case.
