Subject: lib/swiotlb.c: fix strange panic message selection logic when swiotlb fills up
From: Casey Dahlin <cdahlin@xxxxxxxxxx>

swiotlb_full in lib/swiotlb.c throws one of two panic messages based on
whether the direction of transfer is from the device or to the device. 
The logic around this is somewhat weird in the case of bidirectional
transfers.  It appears to want to throw both in succession, but since its
a panic only the first makes it.

This patch adds a third, separate error for DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL to make
things a bit clearer.
