Subject: [PATCH] gcov: clang: fix clang-11+ build

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

With clang-11+, the code is broken due to my kvmalloc() conversion
(which predated the clang-11 support code) leaving one vmalloc()
in place. Fix that.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

This fixes a clang-11 build issue reported against current
linux-next since the clang-11+ support landed in v5.12-rc5
and my kvmalloc() conversion patch is in akpm/linux-next.
I guess this should be folded into

  gcov: use kvmalloc()

If desired, I can send a combined patch instead.
