block: sed-opal: kmalloc the cmd/resp buffers

[ Upstream commit f829230dd51974c1f4478900ed30bb77ba530b40 ]

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").
