Subject: lightnvm: pblk: use right flag for GC allocation
From: Javier González <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 7d327a9ed6c4dca341ebf99012e0a6b80a3050e6 ]
The data buffer for the GC path allocates virtual memory through
vmalloc. When this change was introduced, a flag signaling kmalloc'ed
memory was wrongly introduced. Use the right flag when creating a bio
from this buffer.
Fixes: de54e703a422 ("lightnvm: pblk: use vmalloc for GC data buffer")
