xfs: add kmem_alloc_io()

Memory we use to submit for IO needs strict alignment to the
underlying driver contraints. Worst case, this is 512 bytes. Given
that all allocations for IO are always a power of 2 multiple of 512
bytes, the kernel heap provides natural alignment for objects of
these sizes and that suffices.

Until, of course, memory debugging of some kind is turned on (e.g.
red zones, poisoning, KASAN) and then the alignment of the heap
objects is thrown out the window. Then we get weird IO errors and
data corruption problems because drivers don't validate alignment
and do the wrong thing when passed unaligned memory buffers in bios.

TO fix this, introduce kmem_alloc_io(), which will guaranteeat least
512 byte alignment of buffers for IO, even if memory debugging
options are turned on. It is assumed that the minimum allocation
size will be 512 bytes, and that sizes will be power of 2 mulitples
of 512 bytes.

Use this everywhere we allocate buffers for IO.

This no longer fails with log recovery errors when KASAN is enabled
due to the brd driver not handling unaligned memory buffers:

# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0 ; mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/test
