[PATCH] staging: comedi: gsc_hpdi: check dma_alloc_coherent() return value

The "auto-attach" handler function `gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` calls
`dma_alloc_coherent()` in a loop to allocate some DMA data buffers, and
also calls it to allocate a buffer for a DMA descriptor chain.  However,
it does not check the return value of any of these calls.  Change
`gsc_hpdi_auto_attach()` to return `-ENOMEM` if any of these
`dma_alloc_coherent()` calls fail.  This will result in the comedi core
calling the "detach" handler `gsc_hpdi_detach()` as part of the
clean-up, which will call `gsc_hpdi_free_dma()` to free any allocated
DMA coherent memory buffers.

Note: Bug is also present in kernel 4.5 and earlier, but the patch will
not apply cleanly to those (the gsc_hpdi driver used to call
`pci_alloc_consistent()` instead of `dma_alloc_coherent()`).
