Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] media: uvcvideo: Use dma_alloc_noncontiguos API

On architectures where the is no coherent caching such as ARM use the
dma_alloc_noncontiguos API and handle manually the cache flushing using
dma_sync_sgtable().

With this patch on the affected architectures we can measure up to 20x
performance improvement in uvc_video_copy_data_work().

Eg: aarch64 with an external usb camera
