Subject: [PATCH 4.18 31/88] ALSA: bebob: use address returned by kmalloc() instead of kernel stack for streaming DMA mapping

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@...amocchi.jp>

commit 493626f2d87a74e6dbea1686499ed6e7e600484e upstream.

When executing 'fw_run_transaction()' with 'TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST',
an address of 'payload' argument is used for streaming DMA mapping by
'firewire_ohci' module if 'size' argument is larger than 8 byte.
Although in this case the address should not be on kernel stack, current
implementation of ALSA bebob driver uses data in kernel stack for a cue
to boot M-Audio devices. This often brings unexpected result, especially
for a case of CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.

This commit fixes the bug.
