scsi: use dma_get_cache_alignment() as minimum DMA alignment
commit 90addc6b3c9cda0146fbd62a08e234c2b224a80c upstream. In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to maintain I/O coherency, so scsi's block queue should be aligned to the value returned by dma_get_cache_alignment(). Otherwise, If a DMA buffer and a kernel structure share a same cache line, and if the kernel structure has dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback) will cause data corruption.
