gpu: ion: Set the dma_address of the sg list at alloc time
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.
