To allow the SCSI subsystem scsi_execute_req() function to issue
requests using large buffers that are better allocated with vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc(), modify bio_map_kern() to allow passing a buffer
allocated with the vmalloc() function. To do so, simply test the buffer
address using is_vmalloc_addr() and use vmalloc_to_page() instead of
virt_to_page() to obtain the pages of vmalloc-ed buffers.
Fixes: 515ce6061312 ("scsi: sd_zbc: Fix sd_zbc_report_zones() buffer allocation")
Fixes: e76239a3748c ("block: add a report_zones method")
