In current code, the coherent_dma_mask for VMBus devices is not set, so
it has the default value of 0, which essentially means "invalid". Because
drivers for VMBus devices do not use dma_alloc_*() functions, the usual
use of the coherent mask does not occur, and no errors result.

However, a valid coherent_dma_mask may be needed even though the drivers
don't use dma_alloc_*() functions. In a CoCo VM, the VMBus storvsc and
netvsc drivers must bounce buffer DMA operations through the swiotlb
because the Hyper-V host can't DMA into encrypted guest memory. If the
kernel is built with CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC and the initial swiotlb size
is small, swiotlb code may need to grow the swiotlb in response to a DMA
mapping request. That growth first allocates a transient pool while the
swiotlb is expanded in the background. The transient pool memory is
allocated from the DMA atomic pools, and the allocation code checks for
a valid coherent_dma_mask. With current code, this check fails, then the
DMA mapping request from the storvsc or netvsc driver fails, and finally
an I/O error occurs.

Fix this problem by setting coherent_dma_mask for VMBus devices at the
same time that dma_mask is set. Being a synthetic bus, VMBus does not
have any restrictions on coherent DMA, so the coherent mask is set to
the full 64 bits for all VMBus devices, just like with dma_mask.

I have not provided a Fixes: tag because the scenario under which
the error occurs is an artificial test case that I came across
while stressing a unrelated patch set. The fix is valid for general
goodness, but the likelihood of the problem occurring in the real
world is extremely small. So I see little value in adding this
patch to the stable kernel maintainers' workload. If someone wants
to argue otherwise, I have no fundamental objection to adding the
Fixes: tag.
