Before this change, the if the mapping type wasn't already calculated
pci_p2pdma_map_sg() would just fail. This was fine for NVMe-of as it
always called pci_p2pdma_distance() ahead of time which calculated the
mapping type, stored it in the xarray and did not proceed if the two
devices could not talk to each other.

This patch makes it so if the mapping type is not already calculated at
dma map time, it does the calculation. This means the dma map operation
can fail if the two devices aren't able to talk to each other.
