Subject: Bluetooth: ath3k: don't use stack memory for DMA

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]>

commit 517828a87994f41af6ae5a0f96f0f069f05baa81 upstream.

Memory allocated by vmalloc (including stack) can not be used for DMA,
i.e. data pointer on usb_control_msg() should not point to stack memory.
