[PATCH v2 02/22] PCI/P2PDMA: Use a buffer on the stack for collecting the acs list

In order to call the calc_map_type_and_dist_warn() function from
a dma_map operation, the function must not sleep. The only reason
it sleeps is to allocate memory for the seq_buf to print a verbose
warning telling the user how to disable ACS for that path.
Instead of allocating the memory with kmalloc, allocate it on
the stack with a smaller buffer. A 128B buffer is enough to print
10 pci device names. A system with 10 bridge ports between two devices
that have ACS enabled would be unusually large, so this should
still be a reasonable limit.
This also allows cleaning up the awkward (and broken) return with
-ENOMEM which contradicts the return type and the caller was
not prepared for.
