net/mlx4: Get rid of page operation after dma_alloc_coherent

This patch solves a crash at the time of mlx4 driver unload or system
shutdown. The crash occurs because dma_alloc_coherent() returns one
value in mlx4_alloc_icm_coherent(), but a different value is passed to
dma_free_coherent() in mlx4_free_icm_coherent(). In turn this is because
when allocated, that pointer is passed to sg_set_buf() to record it,
then when freed it is re-calculated by calling
lowmem_page_address(sg_page()) which returns a different value. Solve
this by recording the value that dma_alloc_coherent() returns, and
passing this to dma_free_coherent().

This patch is roughly equivalent to commit c298b1077c35 ("RDMA/hns: Get
rid of page operation after dma_alloc_coherent").
