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.

The only change I would make is to convert the WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE. In case
something goes wrong, there is no need to spam the logs.
I am not crazy about the overhead in allocating two different blocks for each
output packet, but if it is necessary, then it has to happen.
