[ Upstream commit 7f439bc2d7e8c8cc4e1bab08ab7fe1bb73c9b268 ]

We observed a large(order-3) allocation in evdev_open() and it may
cause an OOM kernel panic in kzalloc(), before we getting to the
vzalloc() fallback.

Fix it by converting kzalloc()/vzalloc() to kvzalloc() to avoid the
OOM killer logic as we have a vmalloc fallback.

InputReader invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x240c2c0
(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=3,
oom_score_adj=-900
