Subject: [PATCH 4/5] ath6kl: Fix possible race in accessing bounce buffer

There is only one bounce buffer (ar_sdio->dma_buffer) which is used
for both read and write without any protection. Fix this race by
allocating bounce buffer every time when it is needed.

As I have never seen any race in bounce buffer practically during my testing,
this patch can be dropped instead of making the code complex for no reason.
