[S390] hvc_iucv: allocate memory buffers for IUCV in zone DMA

Browse Source 
The device driver must allocate memory for IUCV buffers with GFP_DMA,
because IUCV cannot address memory above 2GB (31bit addresses only).

Because the IUCV ignores the higher bits of the address, sending and
receiving IUCV data with this driver might cause memory corruptions.

* This function allocates a new struct iucv_tty_buffer element and, optionally,
* allocates an internal data buffer with the specified size @size.
* The internal data buffer is always allocated with GFP_DMA which is
* required for receiving and sending data with IUCV.
* Note: The total message size arises from the internal buffer size and the
* members of the iucv_tty_msg structure.
* The function returns NULL if memory allocation has failed.
