Make kmalloc'ed memory really DMA-safe

In Linux, the memory returned by kmalloc() is DMA-capable.
However, it is not true in U-Boot.

At a glance, kmalloc() in U-Boot returns address aligned with
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.  However, it never pads the allocated memory.
This half-way house is completely useless because calling kmalloc()
and malloc() in this order causes a cache sharing problem.

Change the implementation to call malloc_cache_aligned(), which
allocates really DMA-capable memory.
