[PATCH v2] ARM: dma-mapping: preallocate DMA-debug hash tables in core_initcall

fs_initcall is definitely too late to initialize DMA-debug hash tables,
because some drivers might get probed and use DMA mapping framework
already in core_initcall. Late initialization of DMA-debug results in
false warning about accessing memory, that was not allocated, like this
one:

This patch moves initialization of DMA-debug to core_initcall. This is
safe from the initialization perspective. dma_debug_do_init() internally calls
debugfs functions and debugfs also gets initialised at core_initcall(), and
that is earlier than arch code in the link order, so it will get initialized
just before the DMA-debug.
