Feng Tang 7c47a219b9 ipmi: use vzalloc instead of kmalloc for user creation 
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.
