ret in dma_direct_alloc() and dma_direct_alloc_pages() holds the returned
CPU mapping, not a generic return value. Rename it to cpu_addr and update
the remaining uses to match.

This makes the allocation paths easier to follow and keeps the local naming
consistent with what the variable actually represents.
