virtio_console: Stop doing DMA on the stack
virtio_console uses a small DMA buffer for control requests. Move
that buffer into heap memory.
Doing virtio DMA on the stack is normally okay on non-DMA-API virtio
systems (which is currently most of them), but it breaks completely
if the stack is virtually mapped (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y).
Tested by typing both directions using picocom aimed at /dev/hvc0.
