dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC

Commit 370645f41e6e ("dma-mapping: force bouncing if the kmalloc() size is
not cache-line-aligned") introduced DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC feature
and permitted architecture specific code configure kmalloc slabs with
sizes smaller than the value of dma_get_cache_alignment().

When that feature is enabled, the physical address of some small
kmalloc()-ed buffers might be not aligned to the CPU cachelines, thus not
really suitable for typical DMA.  To properly handle that case a SWIOTLB
buffer bouncing is used, so no CPU cache corruption occurs.  When that
happens, there is no point reporting a false-positive DMA-API warning that
the buffer is not properly aligned, as this is not a client driver fault.

[m.szyprowski@samsung.com: replace is_swiotlb_allocated() with is_swiotlb_active(), per Catalin]
