[ 17/86] rtlwifi: usb: allocate URB control message setup_packet and data buffer separately

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@xxxxxxxx>

commit bc6b89237acb3dee6af6e64e51a18255fef89cc2 upstream.

rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb,
using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for
allocating is:
struct {
u8 data[254];
struct usb_ctrlrequest dr;
};

Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and
DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory
corruptions and freezes.

Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately.

[v2]:
- Use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON
