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.
