DMA_GLOBAL_POOL config may be enabled for platforms where global pool is not supported because a generic defconfig is expected to boot on different platforms. Specifically, some RISC-V platforms may use global pool for non-coherent devices while some other platforms are completely coherent. However, it is expected that single kernel image must boot on all the platforms. Continue the dma direct allocation if a allocation from global pool failed. This indicates that the platform is relying on some other method (direct remap) or just have coherent devices.
