[PATCH v3] block: sed-opal: kmalloc the cmd/resp buffers

[Serge Semin]

In accordance with [1] the DMA-able memory buffers must be
cacheline-aligned otherwise the cache writing-back and invalidation
performed during the mapping may cause the adjacent data being lost. It's
specifically required for the DMA-noncoherent platforms [2]. Seeing the
opal_dev.{cmd,resp} buffers are implicitly used for DMAs in the NVME and
SCSI/SD drivers in framework of the nvme_sec_submit() and sd_sec_submit()
methods respectively they must be cacheline-aligned to prevent the denoted
problem. One of the option to guarantee that is to kmalloc the buffers
[2]. Let's explicitly allocate them then instead of embedding into the
opal_dev structure instance.

Note this fix was inspired by the commit c94b7f9bab22 ("nvme-hwmon:
kmalloc the NVME SMART log buffer").

Folks the NVME-part of the patchset has already been merged in
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20220929224648.8997-1-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru/
This modification is only leftover of the original series. So I've resent
it as a separate patch.

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20220929224648.8997-4-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru/
Changelog v3:
- Convert to allocating the cmd-/resp-buffers instead of cache-aligning
  them. (@Jonathan)
- Resubmit the patch separately from the original series.
- Rebase onto the kernel 6.1-rc3
