firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads
For AT packet payloads of up to eight bytes, we have enough unused space in the DMA descriptors list so that we can put a copy of the payload there and thus avoid having to create a separate streaming DMA mapping for the payload buffer. In a CPU-bound microbenchmark that just sends 8-byte packets, bandwidth was measured to increase by 5.7 %, from 1009 KB/s to 1067 KB/s. In practice, the only performance-sensitive usage of small asynchronous packets is the SBP-2 driver's write to the ORB_POINTER register during SCSI command submission.
