FUJITA Tomonori a6eb9fe105 dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

This patch:

dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.

Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).
