[PATCH] media: mediatek: vcodec: Alloc DMA memory with DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES

[Douglas Anderson]

As talked about in commit 14d3ae2efeed ("ARM: 8507/1: dma-mapping: Use
DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES hint to optimize alloc"), it doesn't
really make sense to try to allocate contiguous chunks of memory for
video encoding/decoding. Let's switch the Mediatek vcodec driver to
pass DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES and take some of the stress off the
memory subsystem.

NOTE: I haven't personally done massive amounts of testing with this
change, but I originally added the DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES flag
specifically for the video encoding / decoding cases and I know it
helped avoid memory problems in the past on other systems. Colleagues
of mine have told me that with this change memory problems are harder
to reproduce, so it seems like we should consider doing it.
