[PATCH 012/115] gpu: ion: Set the dma_address of the sg list at alloc time

From: Rebecca Schultz Zavin <rebecca@android.com>

This patch sets the dma_address field of the sglist representing
an allocation at allocation time. This technically breaks the dma api
which states that these addresses should be set when a particular device
takes ownership of a buffer via the dma_map apis. In the case of our
systems the only dma address space is physical addresses. Additionally,
we can not afford the overhead of calling dma_map_sg from this location
as it implies a cache invalidate that is not necessary if the memory
was previously mapped cached. Instead, the expectation is that memory
being returned from the heaps is ready for dma in that if any cached
mappings of that memory exist they have been invalidated.
