Subject: [PATCH v4] scsi: libsas: Allocation SMP request is aligned to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

This series [1] reducing the kmalloc() minimum alignment on arm64 to 8
(from 128). In libsas, this will cause SMP requests to be 8-byte-aligned
through kmalloc() allocation. However, for the hisi_sas hardware, all
commands address must be 16-byte-aligned. Otherwise, the commands fail to
be executed.

ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN represents the minimum (static) alignment for safe DMA
operations, so use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as the alignment for SMP request.

Changes since v3:
- Still aligned to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN for safe DMA operations.

Changes since v2:
- Use 16B as alignment for SMP requests instead of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.

Changes since v1:
- Directly modify alloc_smp_req() instead of using handler callback.
