[PATCH] dma-pool: use single atomic pool for both DMA zones

When allocating atomic DMA memory for a device, the dma-pool core
queries __dma_direct_optimal_gfp_mask() to check which atomic pool to
use. It turns out the GFP flag returned is only an optimistic guess.
The pool selected might sometimes live in a zone higher than the
device's view of memory.

As there isn't a way to grantee a mapping between a device's DMA
constraints and correct GFP flags this unifies both DMA atomic pools.
The resulting pool is allocated in the lower DMA zone available, if any,
so as for devices to always get accessible memory while having the
flexibility of using dma_pool_kernel for the non constrained ones.

Fixes: c84dc6e68a1d ("dma-pool: add additional coherent pools to map to gfp mask")
