Andrea Righi ada57fd312 module/decompress: use kvmalloc() consistently
[ Upstream commit 17fc8084aa ]

We consistently switched from kmalloc() to vmalloc() in module
decompression to prevent potential memory allocation failures with large
modules, however vmalloc() is not as memory-efficient and fast as
kmalloc().

Since we don't know in general the size of the workspace required by the
decompression algorithm, it is more reasonable to use kvmalloc()
consistently, also considering that we don't have special memory
requirements here.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
