dma_alloc_from_coherent(): fix fallback to generic memory

If bitmap_find_free_region() fails and DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE is not set,
the function will fail to write anything to *ret and will return 1.             This will cause dma_alloc_coherent() to return an uninitialised value,
crashing the kernel, perhaps via DMA to a random address.

Fix that by changing it to return zero in this case, so the caller will
proceed to allocate the memory from the generic memory allocator.
