Josef Bacik 9f75fb5f4b UPSTREAM: proc: use kvzalloc for our kernel buffer
[ Upstream commit 4508943794efdd94171549c0bd52810e2f4ad9fe ]

Since

  sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

we have been pre-allocating a buffer to copy the data from the proc
handlers into, and then copying that to userspace.  The problem is this
just blindly kzalloc()'s the buffer size passed in from the read, which in
the case of our 'cat' binary was 64kib.  Order-4 allocations are not
awesome, and since we can potentially allocate up to our maximum order, so
use kvzalloc for these buffers.
