    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.
