[PATCH] pstore: ramoops: support pmsg size larger than kmalloc limitation

[Yuxiao Zhang]

Current pmsg implementation is using kmalloc for pmsg record buffer,
which has max size limits based on page size. Currently even we
allocate enough space with pmsg-size, pmsg will still fail if the
file size is larger than what kmalloc allowed.

Since we don't need physical contiguous memory for pmsg buffer
, we can use kvmalloc to avoid such limitation.
