Ard Biesheuvel 6650d78558 ArmPkg/ArmDmaLib: remove dependency on UncachedMemoryAllocationLib
Now that ArmDmaLib no longer uses uncached mappings for short-lived
bounce buffers used for streaming DMA, the only place we allocate
uncached memory is in DmaAllocateBuffer (), which is used for static
mappings shared between the host and the device, e.g., for packet
descriptor rings etc.

There is no performance concern around such long lived mappings, and
so we can really do without the overhead of UncachedMemoryAllocationLib,
which is a sizable chunk of poorly maintained code that never actually
releases any memory, and despite the fact that it implements pool based
routines, it always performs page based allocations anyway.

So let's invoke the DXE services directly to manage memory attributes
on allocations, and keep track of the allocations in a linked list so
we can restore the attributes and free the memory properly after use.
