3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 0368dfd01ae3b7647ef9b2f0525fdefd5e0d28e1 upstream.
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:

This patch fixes the above.
