drm/sitronix: st7571: fix hwbuf heap buffer overflow from unaligned nlines

The commit attempts to fix a heap buffer overflow in the sitronix st7571 driver
by ensuring the allocated buffer size is aligned.

> In st7571_fb_blit_rect() (drivers/gpu/drm/sitronix/st7571.c), align y1
> down and y2 up to multiples of 8 rows before computing nlines so the
> byte count written into st7571->hwbuf matches the allocated page-aligned
> buffer capacity and cannot overflow st7571->hwbuf.

[Severity: Medium]
Does the commit message describe the actual changes made in this patch?

The message claims to fix an issue in st7571_fb_blit_rect() by modifying how
coordinates y1 and y2 are aligned. However, the patch does not modify this
function, but instead rounds up an allocation size in st7571_probe().

Could the commit message be updated to match the implementation?
