Feng Tang b1bc8753ee ipmi: use vzalloc instead of kmalloc for user creation
[ Upstream commit 7c47a219b95d0e06b5ef5fcc7bad807895015eac ]

We met mulitple times of failure of staring bmc-watchdog,
due to the runtime memory allocation failure of order 4.

     bmc-watchdog: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
     CPU: 1 PID: 2571 Comm: bmc-watchdog Not tainted 5.5.0-00045-g7d6bb61d6188c #1

Using vzalloc/vfree for creating ipmi_user heals the
problem

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell for finding the vmalloc.h
inclusion issue.

README

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.
