[PATCH v3 07/17] dmaengine: bcm-sba-raid: Allow arbitrary number free sba_request

Currently, we cannot have any arbitrary number of free sba_request
because sba_prealloc_channel_resources() allocates an array of
sba_request using devm_kcalloc() and kcalloc() cannot provide
memory beyond certain size.

This patch removes "reqs" (sba_request array) from sba_device
and makes "cmds" as variable array (instead of pointer) in
sba_request. This helps sba_prealloc_channel_resources() to
allocate sba_request and associated SBA command in one allocation
which in-turn allows arbitrary number of free sba_request.
