Enhance the document to discuss the importance of dma
mapping error checks after dma_map_single() and
dma_map_page() calls. Also added usage examples that include
unmap examples in error paths when dma mapping error is
returned. Includes correct and incorrect usages to high
light some common mistakes in error paths especially when
dma mapping fails when more than one dma mapping call is
made.

ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was renamed to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (the commit
a6eb9fe105).
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be defined instead of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to
ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe.

Now we have <asm-generic/scatterlist.h>. Architectures should use it
instead of inventing the own scatterlist struct. Let's update the
description.

This patch renames PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.
The commit 51e7364ef2 "Documentation: rename
PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to DMA-API-HOWTO.txt" was supposed to do this but it
didn't.
