This allow to remove calls to i3c_hci_alloc_safe_xfer_buf() and 
i3c_hci_free_safe_xfer_buf() in i3c_hci_i2c_xfers().

I was pondering the i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf() when making commit 
4afd72876942 ("i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add DMA bounce buffer for private 
transfers") but decided to reuse the same (own) helper for both 
i3c_hci_priv_xfers() and i3c_hci_i2c_xfers().

In that sense I'd modify the commit log a bit that instead of ensuring 
safe handling patch switches from custom helper to 
i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf() and i2c_put_dma_safe_msg_buf() (please note 
the comment from Wolfram).
