Change allocation of ccw_io_region so that the usercopy hardening
code can figure out that everything is fine.
s390/cio: Refactor alloc of ccw_io_region

If I attach a vfio-ccw device to my guest, I get the following warning
on the host when the host kernel is CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y

[250757.595325] Bad or missing usercopy whitelist? Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to SLUB object 'dma-kmalloc-512' (offset 64, size 124)!

While vfio_ccw_mdev_{write|read} validates that the input position/count
does not run over the ccw_io_region struct, the usercopy code that does
copy_{to|from}_user doesn't necessarily know this. It sees the variable
length and gets worried that it's affecting a normal kmalloc'd struct,
and generates the above warning.

Adjust how the ccw_io_region is alloc'd with a whitelist to remove this
warning. The boundary checking will continue to do its thing.
