Subject: rapidio: fix return value description for dma_prep functions
Update return value description for rio_dma_prep_... functions to include
error-valued pointer that can be returned by HW mport device drivers.
Return values from these functions must be checked using IS_ERR_OR_NULL
macro.
This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v4.6-rc1.
