swiotlb: remove panic for alloc_coherent failure
swiotlb_alloc_coherent calls panic() when allocated swiotlb pages is not fit for a device's dma mask. However, alloc_coherent failure is not a disaster at all. AFAIK, none of other x86 and IA64 IOMMU implementations don't crash in case of alloc_coherent failure. There are some drivers that don't check alloc_coherent failure but not many (about ten and I've already started to fix some of them). alloc_coherent returns NULL in case of failure so it's likely that these guilty drivers crash immediately. So swiotlb doesn't need to call panic() just for them.
