Subject: block: blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers for stack buffers
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
blk_rq_map_kern is used for kernel internal I/Os. Some callers use
this function with stack buffers but DMA to/from the stack buffers
leads to memory corruption on a non-coherent platform.
This patch make blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers if a caller
passes a stack buffer (on the all platforms for simplicity).
