dma-mapping: reject __GFP_COMP in dma_alloc_attrs

DMA allocations can never be turned back into a page pointer, so
requesting compound pages doesn't make sense and it can't even be
supported at all by various backends.

Reject __GFP_COMP with a warning in dma_alloc_attrs, and stop clearing
the flag in the arm dma ops and dma-iommu.
