[PATCH] coredump: fix spam with zero VMA process

[Alexey Dobriyan]

Nobody ever tried to self destruct by unmapping whole address space at once:

	munmap((void *)0, (1ULL << 47) - 4096);

Doing this produces 2 warnings for zero-length vmalloc allocations:

a.out[1353]: segfault at 7f80bcc4b757 ip 00007f80bcc4b757 sp 00007fff683939b8 error 14
a.out: vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
	...
a.out: vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
	...

Fix is to switch to kvmalloc().

Steps to reproduce:

	// vsyscall=none
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <sys/resource.h>
	int main(void)
	{
		setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &(struct rlimit){RLIM_INFINITY, RLIM_INFINITY});
		munmap((void *)0, (1ULL << 47) - 4096);
		return 0;
	}
