vsock/virtio: fix DMA alignment for event_list

Browse source

On non-cache-coherent platforms, when a structure contains a buffer
used for DMA alongside fields that the CPU writes to, cacheline sharing
can cause data corruption.

The event_list array is used for DMA_FROM_DEVICE operations via
virtqueue_add_inbuf(). The adjacent event_run and guest_cid fields are
written by the CPU while the buffer is available, so mapped for the
device. If these share cachelines with event_list, CPU writes can
corrupt DMA data.

Add __dma_from_device_group_begin()/end() annotations to ensure event_list
is isolated in its own cachelines.
