siano: make it work again with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
commit f9c85ee67164b37f9296eab3b754e543e4e96a1c upstream.
Reported as a Kaffeine bug:

The USB control messages require DMA to work. We cannot pass
a stack-allocated buffer, as it is not warranted that the
stack would be into a DMA enabled area.
On Kernel 4.9, the default is to not accept DMA on stack anymore
on x86 architecture. On other architectures, this has been a
requirement since Kernel 2.2. So, after this patch, this driver
should likely work fine on all archs.
