Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: SEV: Fall back to __vmalloc() for SEV-ES scratch
 area if necessary

Use kvzalloc() to allocate KVM's buffer for SEV-ES's GHCB scratch area so
that KVM falls back to __vmalloc() if physically contiguous memory isn't
available.  The buffer is purely a KVM software construct, i.e. there's
no need for it to be physically contiguous, and at a max allowed size of
16kb it's just large enough that kzalloc() could feasibly fail due to
memory fragmentation.
