crypto: qat - use unmanaged allocation for dc_data

[ Upstream commit 4cc871ad0173e8bc22f80e3609e34d546d30ef1a ]

The dc_data structure holds data required for handling compression
operations, such as overflow buffers. In this context, the use of
managed memory allocation APIs (devm_kzalloc() and devm_kfree())
is not necessary, as these data structures are freed and
re-allocated when a device is restarted in adf_dev_down() and
adf_dev_up().

Additionally, managed APIs automatically handle memory cleanup when the
device is detached, which can lead to conflicts with manual cleanup
processes. Specifically, if a device driver invokes the adf_dev_down()
function as part of the cleanup registered with
devm_add_action_or_reset(), it may attempt to free memory that is also
managed by the device's resource management system, potentially leading
to a double-free.

This might result in a warning similar to the following when unloading
the device specific driver, for example qat_6xxx.ko:

    qat_free_dc_data+0x4f/0x60 [intel_qat]
    qat_compression_event_handler+0x3d/0x1d0 [intel_qat]
    adf_dev_shutdown+0x6d/0x1a0 [intel_qat]
    adf_dev_down+0x32/0x50 [intel_qat]
    devres_release_all+0xb8/0x110
    device_unbind_cleanup+0xe/0x70
    device_release_driver_internal+0x1c1/0x200
    driver_detach+0x48/0x90
    bus_remove_driver+0x74/0xf0
    pci_unregister_driver+0x2e/0xb0

Use unmanaged memory allocation APIs (kzalloc_node() and kfree()) for
the dc_data structure. This ensures that memory is explicitly allocated
and freed under the control of the driver code, preventing manual
deallocation from interfering with automatic cleanup.
