[PATCH v2 5/6] rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: don't allocate buffer if provided by low level driver

[Loic Pallardy]

Low level platform specific driver has the knowledge of the different
communication link constraints like fixed or secured memory region to
use for buffer allocation.

If virtual address is defined in virtio_rpmsg_cfg structure, a dedicated
memory pool buffer fitting platform requirements is available.
Rpmsg virtio layer should rely on it if its size is compliant with link
characteristics.

Changes since V1:
- Alignment with open parenthesis.
- Add vrp->bufs_dma intialization in virtio_rpmsg_get_config function
