[PATCH v2 03/11] drm/tegra: vic: Fix DMA API misuse

Upon failure, dma_alloc_coherent() returns NULL. If that does happen,
passing some uninitialised stack contents to dma_mapping_error() - which
belongs to a different API in the first place - has precious little
chance of detecting it.

Also include the correct header, because the fragile transitive
inclusion currently providing it is going to break soon.

It also doesn't appear to handle failure of the tegra_drm_alloc() path
either, but that's a loose thread I have no desire to pull on... ;)
