On non-cache-coherent platforms, when a structure contains a buffer
used for DMA alongside fields that the CPU writes to, cacheline sharing
can cause data corruption.
The evts array is used for DMA_FROM_DEVICE operations via
virtqueue_add_inbuf(). The adjacent lock and ready fields are written
by the CPU during normal operation. If these share cachelines with evts,
CPU writes can corrupt DMA data.
Add __dma_from_device_aligned_begin/end annotations to ensure evts is
isolated in its own cachelines.

Add __dma_from_device_aligned_begin annotation before the data buffer
in struct virtrng_info to ensure proper cacheline alignment on
non-cache-coherent platforms.
The data buffer is used for DMA_FROM_DEVICE via virtqueue_add_inbuf()
and is adjacent to CPU-written fields (data_avail, data_idx). Without
proper alignment, the device writing to the DMA buffer and the CPU
writing to adjacent fields could corrupt each other's data on
platforms where DMA cache maintenance is at cacheline granularity.
