Subject: [IRDA PATCH] mcs7780: Fix initialization when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is enabled

DMA transfers are not allowed to buffers that are on the stack.
Therefore allocate a buffer to store the result of usb_control_message().

Fixes these bugreports:

Regression goes back to 4.9, so it's a good candidate for -stable.
Though it's the decision of the maintainer.

Thanks to Dan Williams for adding the "transfer buffer not dma capable"
warning in the first place. It instantly pointed me in the right direction.

Patch has been tested with transferring data from a Polar watch.
