The map_single does not check if dev is NULL which may cause kernel panic
like follows:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000bc
pgd = 80004000
[000000bc] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT

The patch checks the dev to avoid this issue and align with the
original dma_map_single to allow dev is NULL.
