With the "drm/msm: add a display mmu fault handler" series [1] we saw issues in the field where memory allocation was failing when allocating space for registers in msm_disp_state_dump_regs(). Specifically we were seeing an order 5 allocation fail. It's not surprising that order 5 allocations will sometimes fail after the system has been up and running for a while. There's no need here for contiguous memory. Change the allocation to kvzalloc() which should make it much less likely to fail.

I had some doubts on how this issue happens considering that the devcore should automatically release the memory within 5 sec even if userspace had not read this. So there is no leak as such, its just that in a heavily loaded system, this can happen.
Fix looks okay to me, Reviewed-by: Abhinav Kumar <quic_abhin...@quicinc.com>
