[PATCH] staging: iio: ad7816: avoid DMA from stack in spi_read

The SPI core may use DMA for transfers. Using a stack-allocated
buffer for DMA is unsafe and can trigger faults when VMAP_STACK is
enabled, since the stack is not guaranteed to be DMA-accessible.

Move the transfer buffer from the stack into the ad7816_chip_info
structure so it has a stable lifetime suitable for DMA transfers.
Mark the buffer with ____cacheline_aligned to ensure proper alignment
for DMA operations.
