ALSA: hda: Once again fix regression of page allocations with IOMMU

The last fix for trying to recover the regression on AMD platforms,
unfortunately, leaded to yet another regression: it turned out that
IOMMUs don't like the usage of raw page allocations.

This is yet another attempt for addressing the log saga; at this time,
we re-use the existing buffer allocation mechanism with SG-pages
although we require only single pages.  The SG buffer allocation
itself was confirmed to work for stream buffers, so it's relatively
easy to adapt for other places.

The only problem is: although the HD-audio code is accessing the
address directly via dmab->address field, SG-pages don't set up it.
For the ease of adaption, we now set up the dmab->addr field from the
address of the first page as default, so that it can run with the
HD-audio driver code as-is without the excessive call of
snd_sgbuf_get_addr() multiple times; that's the only change in the
memalloc helper side.  The rest is nothing but a flip of the dma_type
field in the HD-audio side.
