The UserSliceReader::read_all function is currently restricted to use only Vec with the kmalloc allocator. However, there is no reason for this limitation. This patch generalizes the function to accept any Vec regardless of the allocator used. There's a use-case for a KVVec in Binder to avoid maximum sizes for a certain array.
