Allocating a contiguous buffer of 64K may fail is memory is sufficiently fragmented, and may cause OOM kill of an unrelated process. However we do not need to have contiguous memory. We also do not need to zero out the buffer since it will be overwritten with firmware data. Switch to using kvmalloc() instead of kzalloc().
