lib/genalloc.c: add check gen_pool_dma_alloc() if dma pointer is not NULL

Browse Source 
In the gen_pool_dma_alloc() the dma pointer can be NULL and while
assigning gen_pool_virt_to_phys(pool, vaddr) to dma caused the following
crash on da850 evm:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
