Before this patch one could receive following errors when executing "fatls"
command on machine with cache enabled (ex i.MX6Q) :
=> fatls mmc 0:1
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4f59dfc8, 4f59e7c8]
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4f59dfc8, 4f59e7c8]
ERROR: v7_outer_cache_inval_range - start address is not aligned - 0x4f59dfc8
ERROR: v7_outer_cache_inval_range - stop address is not aligned - 0x4f59e7c8
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4f59dfc8, 4f59e7c8]

To alleviate this problem - the calloc()s have been replaced with
malloc_cache_aligned() and memset().
After those changes the buffers are properly aligned (with both start
address and size) to SoC cache line.
