Subject: [PATCH] dma-direct: return struct page from
 dma_direct_alloc_from_pool()

Commit 5b138c534fda ("dma-direct: factor out a dma_direct_alloc_from_pool
helper") changed dma_direct_alloc_from_pool() to return the CPU address
from dma_alloc_from_pool(). That fits dma_direct_alloc(), but
dma_direct_alloc_pages() also uses the helper and expects a struct page *.

Fix this by making dma_direct_alloc_from_pool() return the struct page *
again, and pass the CPU address back through an out-parameter for the
dma_direct_alloc() caller.

Fixes: 5b138c534fda ("dma-direct: factor out a dma_direct_alloc_from_pool helper")
