dma-debug: avoid deadlock between dma debug vs printk and netconsole

Browse Source 
Currently the dma debugging code can end up indirectly calling printk
under the radix_lock. This happens when a radix tree node allocation
fails.

This is a problem because the printk code, when used together with
netconsole, can end up inside the dma debugging code while trying to
transmit a message over netcons.

This creates the possibility of either a circular deadlock on the same
CPU, with that CPU trying to grab the radix_lock twice, or an ABBA
deadlock between different CPUs, where one CPU grabs the console lock
first and then waits for the radix_lock, while the other CPU is holding
the radix_lock and is waiting for the console lock.

The trace captured by lockdep is of the ABBA variant.

This bug is more likely than it seems, because when one CPU has run out
of memory, chances are the other has too.

The good news is, this bug is hidden behind the CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, so
not many users are likely to trigger it.
