btrfs: fix allocation of free space cache v1 bitmap pages
commit 3acd48507dc43eeeb0a1fe965b8bad91cab904a7 upstream.
Various notifications of type "BUG kmalloc-4096 () : Redzone
overwritten" have been observed recently in various parts of the kernel.
After some time, it has been made a relation with the use of BTRFS
filesystem and with SLUB_DEBUG turned on.

Commit 69d2480456d1 ("btrfs: use copy_page for copying pages instead of
memcpy") changed the way bitmap blocks are copied. But allthough bitmaps
have the size of a page, they were allocated with kzalloc().
Most of the time, kzalloc() allocates aligned blocks of memory, so
copy_page() can be used. But when some debug options like SLAB_DEBUG are
activated, kzalloc() may return unaligned pointer.
On powerpc, memcpy(), copy_page() and other copying functions use
'dcbz' instruction which provides an entire zeroed cacheline to avoid
memory read when the intention is to overwrite a full line. Functions
like memcpy() are writen to care about partial cachelines at the start
and end of the destination, but copy_page() assumes it gets pages. As
pages are naturally cache aligned, copy_page() doesn't care about
partial lines. This means that when copy_page() is called with a
misaligned pointer, a few leading bytes are zeroed.
To fix it, allocate bitmaps through kmem_cache instead of using kzalloc()
The cache pool is created with PAGE_SIZE alignment constraint.
