Devices that are DMA non-coherent and require a remap were skipping dma_set_decrypted(), leaving DMA buffers encrypted even when the device requires unencrypted access. Move the call after the if (remap) branch so that both the direct and remapped allocation paths correctly mark the allocation as decrypted (or fail cleanly) before use. Fix dma_direct_alloc() and dma_direct_free() to apply set_memory_*() to the linear-map alias of the backing pages instead of the remapped CPU address. Also disallow highmem pages for __DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_CC_SHARED, because highmem buffers do not provide a usable linear-map address.
