dma-mapping: move debug configuration options to kernel/dma
This is a follow up to the commit cf65a0f6f6ff
("dma-mapping: move all DMA mapping code to kernel/dma")
which moved source code of DMA API to kernel/dma folder. Since there is
no file left in the lib that require DMA API debugging options move the
latter to kernel/dma as well.
