[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Use DMA-safe buffer for JEDEC ID in spi_nor_read_id()

[Jarkko Nikula <jarkko.nikula@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After commit 4120f8d158ef ("mtd: spi-nor: Use the spi_mem_xx() API")
there is no allocation for DMA-safe buffer when transmitting data bytes
over SPI bus in m25p80 driver.

JEDEC ID reading in spi_nor_read_id() has the buffer in stack. This is
not safe with the m25p80 driver anymore after commit 4120f8d158ef if
underlying SPI controller is using DMA for transfers.

Therefore allocate a temporary DMA-safe buffer for JEDEC ID reading.

I'm not an spi-nor expert at all but noticed this "WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 154
at kernel/dma/debug.c:1191 check_for_stack+0xc2/0x1a0" after
4120f8d158ef since my test setup has DMA debugging enabled and using DMA
for SPI.
I don't know are there other places that may transfer from stack but it
looked potentially better to have the buffer allocated in
spi_nor_read_id() instead of doing allocation & copy all the places
that 4120f8d158ef touches.
