dma-mapping: move the dma_declare_coherent_memory documentation

dma_declare_coherent_memory should not be in a DMA API guide aimed
at driver writers (that is consumers of the API).  Move it to a comment
near the function instead.

dma_addr_t device_addr, size_t size);
Declare region of memory to be handed out by dma_alloc_coherent() when
it's asked for coherent memory for this device.
phys_addr is the CPU physical address to which the memory is currently
assigned (this will be ioremapped so the CPU can access the region).
device_addr is the DMA address the device needs to be programmed
with to actually address this memory (this will be handed out as the
dma_addr_t in dma_alloc_coherent()).
size is the size of the area (must be multiples of PAGE_SIZE).
As a simplification for the platforms, only *one* such region of
memory may be declared per device.
For reasons of efficiency, most platforms choose to track the declared
region only at the granularity of a page. For smaller allocations,
you should use the dma_pool() API.
