[PATCH v3] usb: gadget: aspeed_udc: Add check for dma_alloc_coherent

Add the check for the return value of dma_alloc_coherent in order to
avoid NULL pointer dereference.

This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing, APP-Miner, which has not been disclosed.

The allyesconfig build using GCC 9.3.0 shows no new warning. As we
don't have a UDC device to test with, no runtime testing was able to
be performed.

Changelog:

v2 -> v3:

1. Add information of finding tool and tests to commit message.

v1 -> v2:

1. Add "goto err;" when allocation fails.
