[ Upstream commit a5bcd72e054aabb93ddc51ed8cde36a5bfc50271 ]
The burning process requires to perform internal allocations of large
chunks of memory. This memory doesn't need to be contiguous and can be
safely allocated by vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(). This patch changes
such allocation to avoid possible out-of-memory failure.

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.
