Andrea Righi c2a311dc20 module/decompress: use vmalloc() for gzip decompression workspace
[ Upstream commit 3737df782c740b944912ed93420c57344b1cf864 ]

Use a similar approach as commit a419beac4a07 ("module/decompress: use
vmalloc() for zstd decompression workspace") and replace kmalloc() with
vmalloc() also for the gzip module decompression workspace.

In this case the workspace is represented by struct inflate_workspace
that can be fairly large for kmalloc() and it can potentially lead to
allocation errors on certain systems:

$ pahole inflate_workspace
struct inflate_workspace {
	struct inflate_state       inflate_state;        /*     0  9544 */
	/* --- cacheline 149 boundary (9536 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
	unsigned char              working_window[32768]; /*  9544 32768 */

	/* size: 42312, cachelines: 662, members: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

Considering that there is no need to use continuous physical memory,
simply switch to vmalloc() to provide a more reliable in-kernel module
decompression.
