[PATCH] exynos-drm: Fix display manager failing to start without IOMMU problem

Fix exynos_drm_gem_create_ioctl() attempts to allocate non-contiguous GEM
memory without IOMMU. In this case, there is no point in attempting to
allocate non-contiguous memory, only to return error during the next step
from exynos_drm_framebuffer_init() which leads to display manager failing
to start.

Check if non-contiguous GEM memory is requested without IOMMU. If so,
allocate contiguous GEM memory to help display manager start.
