greybus: operation: fix potential message corruption
Make sure to allocate the message transfer-buffer separately from the
containing message structure to avoid data corruption on systems without
DMA-coherent caches.
The message structure contains state that is updated while the buffer
may be used for DMA, something which could lead to data corruption due
to cache-line sharing on some architectures.
Use the (renamed) message cache for the message structure itself and
allocate the buffer separately.
If the additional allocation is a concern, the message structures
could eventually be allocated as part of the operation structure.
