dma-direct: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

When booting the kernel v5.9-rc4 on a VM, the kernel would panic when
printing a warning message in swiotlb_map(). The dev->dma_mask must not
be a NULL pointer when calling the dma mapping layer. A NULL pointer
check can potentially avoid the panic.
