USB: set device dma_mask without reference to global data
Many USB host drivers contain code such as: if (!pdev->dev.dma_mask) pdev->dev.dma_mask = &tegra_ehci_dma_mask; ... where tegra_ehci_dma_mask is a global. I suspect this code originated in commit 4a53f4e6 "USB: ehci-tegra: add probing through device tree" and was simply copied everywhere else. This works fine when the code is built-in, but can cause a crash when the code is in a module. The first module load sets up the dma_mask pointer, but if the module is removed and re-inserted, the value is now non-NULL, and hence is not updated to point at the new location, and hence points at a stale location within the previous module load address, which in turn causes a crash if the pointer is de-referenced. The simplest way of solving this seems to be to copy the code from ehci-platform.c, which uses the coherent_dma_mask as the target for the dma_mask pointer.
