Subject: [PATCH 4.4 038/163] drm/nouveau/core: use vzalloc for allocating ramht

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

------------------

From: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@...m.mit.edu>

commit 78a121d82da8aff3aca2a6a1c40f5061081760f0 upstream.

Most calls to nvkm_ramht_new use 0x8000 as the size. This results in a
fairly sizeable chunk of memory to be allocated, which may not be
available with kzalloc. Since this is done fairly rarely (once per
channel), use vzalloc instead.
