dma-debug: Fix check_unmap null pointer dereference

While it's debatable whether or not a NULL device argument to
the DMA API functions is valid... since it certainly isn't
valid on devices with an IOMMU... dma-debug really shouldn't be
dereferencing null pointers either.

Guard against that in err_printk and the driver_filter
functions. A Fedora rawhide user was seeing this in one of the
dvb drivers resulting in an oops on boot.

[ A patch has been sent for testing to the driver, but I feel
  the dma debugging support should be fixed as well. (There's
  still a pile of legacy garbage in the kernel passing null
  pointers to dma_{alloc,free}_*. :( ]
