dma/pool: distinguish between missing and exhausted atomic pools
Currently, dma_alloc_from_pool() unconditionally warns and dumps a stack
trace when an allocation fails, with the message "Failed to get suitable
pool".
This conflates two distinct failure modes:
1. Configuration error: No atomic pool is available for the requested
DMA mask (a fundamental system setup issue)
2. Resource Exhaustion: A suitable pool exists but is currently full (a
recoverable runtime state)
This lack of distinction prevents drivers from using __GFP_NOWARN to
suppress error messages during temporary pressure spikes, such as when
awaiting synchronous reclaim of descriptors.
Refactor the error handling to distinguish these cases:
- If no suitable pool is found, keep the unconditional WARN regarding
the missing pool.
- If a pool was found but is exhausted, respect __GFP_NOWARN and update
the warning message to explicitly state "DMA pool exhausted".
Fixes: 9420139f516d ("dma-pool: fix coherent pool allocations for IOMMU mappings")
