Subject: [PATCH] ioat: Fix DMA memory sync direction correct flag

commit ac4989874af56435c308bdde9ad9c837a26f8b23 upstream.

ioat does DMA memory sync with DMA_TO_DEVICE direction on a buffer allocated
for DMA_FROM_DEVICE dma, resulting in the following warning from dma debug.
Fixed the dma_sync_single_for_device() call to use the correct direction.
