ArmPkg/ArmDmaLib: reject consistent DMA mappings of cached memory

DmaMap () operations of type MapOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer should
return a mapping that is coherent between the CPU and the device. For
this reason, the API only allows DmaMap () to be called with this operation
type if the memory to be mapped was allocated by DmaAllocateBuffer (),
which in this implementation guarantees the coherency by using uncached
mappings on the CPU side.

This means that, if we encounter a cached mapping in DmaMap () with this
operation type, the code is either broken, or someone is violating the
API, but simply proceeding with a double buffer makes no sense at all,
and can only cause problems.

So instead, actively reject this operation type for cached memory mappings.
