common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute
This patch adds DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute which lets the platform to avoid creating a kernel virtual mapping for the allocated buffer. On some architectures creating such mapping is non-trivial task and consumes very limited resources (like kernel virtual address space or dma consistent address space). Buffers allocated with this attribute can be only passed to user space by calling dma_mmap_attrs().
