Subject: dma/pool: do not complain if DMA pool is not allocated

We have a system complaining about order-10 allocation for the DMA pool.

The usable memory in the DMA zone is obviously too small for the pool
pre-allocation.  The allocation failure raises concern by admins because
this is considered an error state.

In fact the preallocation itself doesn't expose any actual problem.  It is
not even clear whether anybody is ever going to use this pool.  If yes
then a warning will be triggered anyway.

Silence the warning to prevent confusion and bug reports.
