module/decompress: use vmalloc() for gzip decompression workspace
Use a similar approach as commit a419bea ("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.
