Current conditional determination of whether to use kzalloc or vzalloc
has known issues such as "indefinite retry" when less than PAGE_SIZE
memory is needed, but is unavailable. This LWN article [1] describes
these issues in greater detail. Use helper function kvcalloc() instead
which is more efficient in terms of performance and security.
[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/711653/
This patch proposal is based on following Coccinelle warning using the
kvmalloc.cocci semantic patch.
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:858:28-29: WARNING opportunity for kvmalloc
The semantic patch suggests using kvzalloc() helper function, however,
this patch proposes to use kvcalloc instead. kvcalloc() helper function
uses 2-factor argument form which is better from a security perspective
as described in the following KSPP project commit.
Commit 4e3fd7217105 ("wireguard: ratelimiter: use kvcalloc() instead of kvzalloc()")

Changes in v3:
1. Use updated maintainer list to send the patch.
Suggested by "Russell King (Oracle)" <linux@armlinux.org.uk>
Changes in v2:
1. Update patch subject to use kvcalloc
2. Use kvcalloc instead of kvzalloc helper function. Revise the patch
proposal and the patch description accordingly.
