MLK-19365: crypto: ccm: Cache aligned auth_data 

Generic GCM is likely to end up using a hardware accelerator to do
part of the job. Allocating hash, iv and result in a contiguous memory
area increases the risk of dma mapping multiple ranges on the same
cacheline. Also having dma and cpu written data on the same cacheline
will cause coherence issues.
