Andrea Righi ada57fd312 module/decompress: use kvmalloc() consistently
[ Upstream commit 17fc8084aa ]

We consistently switched from kmalloc() to vmalloc() in module
decompression to prevent potential memory allocation failures with large
modules, however vmalloc() is not as memory-efficient and fast as
kmalloc().

Since we don't know in general the size of the workspace required by the
decompression algorithm, it is more reasonable to use kvmalloc()
consistently, also considering that we don't have special memory
requirements here.
