We're actually doing this change on other drivers:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/?id=d571b592c6206

I suspect that the reason why all USB media drivers were using
URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP is just because the first media USB driver
upstream used it.

On that time, I remember I tried once to not use this flag, but there
was something that broke (perhaps I just didn't know enough about the
USB layer - or perhaps some fixes happened at USB core - allowing it
to be used with ISOC transfers).

Anyway, nowadays, I fail to see a reason why not let the USB core
do the DMA maps. On my tests after this patch, at the boards I tested
(arm and x86), I was unable to see any regressions.

Thanks,
Mauro
