USB: Check results of dma_map_single

In map_urb_for_dma(), the DMA address returned by dma_map_single()
is not checked to determine if it is legal. This lack of checking
contributed to a problem with the libertas wireless driver
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=125695331205062&w=2

). The
difficulty was not detected until the buffer was unmapped. By this time
memory corruption had occurred.

The situation is fixed by testing the returned DMA address, and
returning -EAGAIN if the address is invalid.
