From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
copy_params uses kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. We already have a helper
for that - kvmalloc. This caller requires GFP_NOIO semantic so it hasn't
been converted with many others by previous patches. All we need to
achieve this semantic is to use the scope memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
around kvmalloc.
