Almost all users of ->map_page()/map_sg() callbacks implement
->unmap_page()/unmap_sg() callbacks too. One user which doesn't do it,
is dummy DMA ops interface, and the use of this interface is to fail
the operation and in such case, there won't be any call to
->unmap_page()/unmap_sg().

This patch removes the existence checks of ->unmap_page()/unmap_sg()
and calls to it directly to create symmetrical interface to
->map_page()/map_sg().

Now that all the common cases have been mopped up by dma-direct, I'm inclined to agree that this seems reasonable. For sure there is code out there still abusing random DMA API calls as a cache maintenance interface because it thinks it knows better, but even that's going to be running on platforms where it expects unmap to have the desired effect anyway, so the chance of somehow ending up with the dummy ops and crashing seems sufficiently unlikely.

However, I'm a little wary of the static checker brigade noticing that and trying to "fix" it by reinstating these tests, so perhaps it's worth just adding unmaps to the dummy ops (with a WARN() in them) as well for the sake of cleanliness and avoidance of any doubt.

Thanks,
Robin.
