[PATCH v5 1/2] tty: hvc: pass DMA capable memory to put_chars()

[Xianting Tian]

As well known, hvc backend can register its opertions to hvc backend.
the opertions contain put_chars(), get_chars() and so on.

Some hvc backend may do dma in its opertions. eg, put_chars() of
virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA
incapable memory to put_chars() under a specific configuration, which
is explained in commit c4baad5029(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack):
1, c[] is on stack,
   hvc_console_print():
	char c[N_OUTBUF] __ALIGNED__;
	cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i);
2, ch is on stack,
   static void hvc_poll_put_char(,,char ch)
   {
	struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[0];
	struct hvc_struct *hp = tty->driver_data;
	int n;

	do {
		n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1);
	} while (n <= 0);
   }

Commit c4baad5029 is just the fix to avoid DMA from stack memory, which
is passed to virtio-console by hvc framework in above code. But I think
the fix is aggressive, it directly uses kmemdup() to alloc new buffer
from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter the memory is in kmalloc area
or not. But most importantly, it should better be fixed in the hvc
framework, by changing it to never pass stack memory to the put_chars()
function in the first place. Otherwise, we still face the same issue if
a new hvc backend using dma added in the furture.

We make 'char c[N_OUTBUF]' part of 'struct hvc_struct', so hp->c is no
longer the stack memory. we can use it in above two cases.

Other cleanup is use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN for align, and make 'hp->outbuf'
aligned and use struct_size() for the size parameter of kzalloc().

With the patch, we can remove the fix c4baad5029.
