firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated
We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e36
"firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".
(Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data. snd-firewire-lib
got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
8-byte transaction buffer.)
This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
anymore. Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.
