pstore/ram: Do not use stack VLA for parity workspace
Instead of using a stack VLA for the parity workspace, preallocate a memory region. The preallocation is done to keep from needing to perform allocations during crash dump writing, etc. This also fixes a missed release of librs on free. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
