Subject: i2c: i2c-tiny-usb: fix buffer not being DMA capable

From: Sebastian Reichel <[email protected]>

commit 5165da5923d6c7df6f2927b0113b2e4d9288661e upstream.

Since v4.9 i2c-tiny-usb generates the below call trace and longer works, since it can't communicate with the USB device. The reason is, that since v4.9 the USB stack checks, that the buffer it should transfer is DMA capable. This was a requirement since v2.2 days, but it usually worked nevertheless.
