USB: rename usb_buffer_alloc() and usb_buffer_free() users

Browse Source 
For more clearance what the functions actually do,

  usb_buffer_alloc() is renamed to usb_alloc_coherent()
  usb_buffer_free()  is renamed to usb_free_coherent()

They should only be used in code which really needs DMA coherency.

All call sites have been changed accordingly, except for staging
drivers.

You'd also set URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP in urb->transfer_flags:

Most drivers should *NOT* be using these primitives; they don't need
