ALSA: info: Use kvzalloc() for a temporary write buffer
We used to use kmalloc (more exactly, krealloc()) for creating and growing the temporary buffer for text proc write. It can grow up to 16kB, and it's already a bit doubtful whether it's always safe to use kmalloc(). With the recent addition of kvmalloc(), we can have a better chance for succeed of memory allocation, so let's switch to that new API. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
