H A Dmemalloc.ca8d302a0 Sun Aug 21 10:59:11 CDT 2022 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> ALSA: memalloc: Revive x86-specific WC page allocations again

We dropped the x86-specific hack for WC-page allocations with a hope
that the standard dma_alloc_wc() works nowadays. Alas, it doesn't,
and we need to take back some workaround again, but in a different
form, as the previous one was broken for some platforms.

This patch re-introduces the x86-specific WC-page allocations, but it
uses rather the manual page allocations instead of
dma_alloc_coherent(). The use of dma_alloc_coherent() was also a
potential problem in the recent addition of the fallback allocation
for noncontig pages, and this patch eliminates both at once.
