[PATCH] USB: f_mass_storage: dynamic buffers for better alignment

[Michal Nazarewicz]

"Static" buffers in fsg_buffhd structure (ie. fields which are arrays
rather then pointers to dynamically allocated memory) are not aligned
to any "big" power of two which may lead to poor DMA performance
(copying "by hand" of head or tail) or no DMA at all even if otherwise
hardware supports it.

Therefore, this patch makes mass storage function use kmalloc()ed
buffers which are (because of their size) page aligned (which should
be enough for any hardware).
