Subject: [PATCH 4.17 02/45] blkdev_report_zones_ioctl(): Use vmalloc() to allocate large buffers

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

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@....com>

commit 327ea4adcfa37194739f1ec7c70568944d292281 upstream.

Avoid that complaints similar to the following appear in the kernel log
if the number of zones is sufficiently large:

  fio: page allocation failure: order:9, mode:0x140c0c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null)
