[PATCH 6.4 2/9] module/decompress: use vmalloc() for zstd decompression workspace

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit a419beac4a070aff63c520f36ebf7cb8a76a8ae5 upstream.

Using kmalloc() to allocate the decompression workspace for zstd may
trigger the following warning when large modules are loaded (i.e., xfs):

However, continuous physical memory does not seem to be required in
module_zstd_decompress(), so use vmalloc() instead, to prevent the
warning and avoid potential failures at loading compressed modules.
