USB: EHCI: fix NULL pointer dererence in HCDs that use HCD_LOCAL_MEM
If we use the HCD_LOCAL_MEM flag and dma_declare_coherent_memory() to
enforce the host controller's local memory utilization we also need to
disable native scatter-gather support, otherwise hcd_alloc_coherent() in
map_urb_for_dma() is called with urb->transfer_buffer == NULL, that
triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
We can also consider to add a WARN_ON() and return an error code to
better catch this problem in the future.
At the moment no driver seems to hit this bug, so I should
consider this a low-priority fix.
