[PATCH 2/2] block: sed-opal: Cache-line-align the cmd/resp buffers

In accordance with [1] the DMA-able memory buffers must be
cacheline-aligned otherwise the cache writing-back and invalidation
performed during the mapping may cause the adjacent data being lost. It's
specifically required for the DMA-noncoherent platforms. Seeing the
opal_dev.{cmd,resp} buffers are used for DMAs in the NVME and SCSI/SD
drivers in framework of the nvme_sec_submit() and sd_sec_submit() methods
respectively we must make sure the passed buffers are cacheline-aligned to
prevent the denoted problem.
