[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 10/14] linux_compat: introduce GFP_DMA flag for kmalloc()

[Masahiro Yamada]

It does not seem efficient to always return cache-aligned memory.
Return aligned memory only when GFP_DMA flag is given.

My main motivation for this commit is to refactor device_probe()
and device_free() in the next commit.  DM_FLAG_ALLOC_PRIV_DMA
should be handled more easily.
