[PATCH master 3/3] dma: fix dma_realloc_coherent compile-time error on kvx

dma_realloc_coherent calls dma_alloc_coherent internally, but on kvx.
use of dma_alloc_coherent always triggers a compile-time error.

Turn the compile-time error into a link-time error, so
dma_alloc_coherent() may be used in common code that's ultimately
discarded, regardless of whether the architecture actually implements
it.
