[PATCH 4.16 092/113] virt: vbox: Use __get_free_pages instead of kmalloc for DMA32 memory

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit faf6a2a44164c0fb2c2a82692ab9051917514bce upstream.

It is not possible to get DMA32 zone memory through kmalloc, causing
the vboxguest driver to malfunction due to getting memory above
4G which the PCI device cannot handle.

This commit changes the kmalloc calls where the 4G limit matters to
using __get_free_pages() fixing vboxguest not working on x86_64 guests
with more then 4G RAM.
