[SRU][R][PATCH 1/1] ntfs3: use page allocation for resident attribute inline data

From: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon at kernel.org>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2165844

kmemdup() based allocation for IOMAP_INLINE can result in inline_data
having a non-zero page offset. This triggers a kernel BUG at
fs/iomap/buffered-io.c:1061 when iomap->length exceeds the remaining
page space.

Fix this by using alloc_page() so page_address() is always page-aligned.
