[PATCH v3] kernel:cobalt:heap: replace kzalloc with vzalloc

[Pintu Kumar <pintu@codeaurora.org>]

With CONFIG_XENO_OPT_PRIVATE_HEAPSZ, user can request any heap size
based on their needs. For some application needs, this can grow as large
as 4MB that is, 2^10 order pages, which is unlikely to succeed with
kzalloc. Even the default (256KB) may fail on highly fragmented system.

Moreover, for this heap allocation, we don't need physical contiguous
memory. Thus vmalloc/vzalloc may be sufficient here.

Note, we may also use kvzalloc/kvmalloc, but unfortunately these are not
available in all kernel versions. Thus for backward compatibility we stick
to vmalloc at least till we support 4.x kernel.
