At the moment nvme_read_completion_status() tries to invidate a single
member of the cqes[] array, which is shady as just a single entry is
not cache line aligned.
The structure is dictated by hardware, and with 16 bytes is smaller than
any cache line we usually deal with. Also multiple entries need to be
consecutive in memory, so we can't pad them to cover a whole cache line.

As a consequence we can only always invalidate all of them - U-Boot just
uses two of them anyway. This is fine, as they are only ever read by the
CPU (apart from the initial zeroing), so they can't become dirty.

Make this obvious by always invalidating the whole array, regardless of
the entry number we are about to read.
Also blow up the allocation size to cover whole cache lines, to avoid
other heap allocations to sneak in.

Hi,

this is just compile tested, and should fix the only questionable
cache invalidate call in this driver.
Please verify if this fixes any issues!

Cheers,
Andre

Can you test this on RK3399?
