      s390/pci: fix use after free in dma_init
      
      After a failure during registration of the dma_table (because of the
      function being in error state) we free its memory but don't reset the
      associated pointer to zero.
      
      When we then receive a notification from firmware (about the function
      being in error state) we'll try to walk and free the dma_table again.
      
      Fix this by resetting the dma_table pointer. In addition to that make
      sure that we free the iommu_bitmap when appropriate.
