Subject: [PATCH 2/6] drm: vkms: Alloc the compose frame using vzalloc

Currently, the memory to the composition frame is being allocated using
the kzmalloc. This comes with the limitation of maximum size of one
page size(which in the x86_64 is 4Kb and 4MB for default and hugepage
respectively).

Somes test of igt (e.g. kms_plane@...el-format) uses more than 4MB when
testing some pixel formats like ARGB16161616.

This problem is addessed by allocating the memory using kvzalloc that
circunvents this limitation.
