When the non-contiguous page allocation for SG buffer allocation
fails, the memalloc helper tries to fall back to the old page
allocation methods. This would, however, result in the bogus page
addresses when IOMMU is enabled. Usually in such a case, the fallback
allocation should fail as well, but occasionally it succeeds and
hitting a bad access.
The fallback was thought for non-IOMMU case, and as the error from
dma_alloc_noncontiguous() with IOMMU essentially implies a fatal
memory allocation error, we should return the error straightforwardly
without fallback. This avoids the corner case like the above.
The patch also renames the local variable "dma_ops" with snd_ prefix
for avoiding the name conflict.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
